It comes down to “How bad do you want this.” It took me 7 years to do one project. Between money and time. If you have the desire you can do it. Make a list of what you need to do to get it running. It may not be what you want when you are finished but get it running. I drove one without doors on it. Running and brakes are the key. Just so you can drive it down your street. Little by little make changes. Plan what changes you will make next winter. These projects are not easy.
