My advice is to not put a time frame on when you will have it done. Only thing will happen is you continue to get discouraged. There are a ton of little things that always pop up that take time or money to fix so just keep at it. It will be done when it is done. Also dont get discouraged if you go through periods where you don't want to look at it for a couple weeks. You'll find that you go through times where you bust your ass for a week or two and then need to take a few days off or even a week. Just keep at it. Good luck.

[Johnson1134]

yeah now that im back to work 50 plus hrs a week wont help.i am in no hurry either i want to do this right with the best newest parts i can afford.it'll be done 1 day its a project.
