It took me about 3 years to do my frame-off. I worked on it almost daily atleast 2 or 3 hours a day and 4 to 6 hours a day on weekends. There was some stuff that I didn't mess with yet, like the front end (still on my to do list). After I got registered and on the road I made some changes, like an open drive line conversion with a T-5 transmission. That alone was the BEST thing that I've done to it. It wasn't fun driving it with the original transmission but now I can keep up with traffic. I'm still making minor improvements to it so it's never totally done.
