Drove my truck the first four summers working on it during the week and going to car shows with it on the weekend. Even though it isn't a show truck it got me on the field rather than parking three blocks away.
I made the mistake of tearing the front clip off, the engine and trans out 18 months ago and still taint gonna have it back together this year. No problem doing a frame up if you can avoid all the household chores, family events, don’t have any other hobbies and have a ton of money to throw at it. You will also need to have people to share a lot of the work with you. Other wise I would take it a step at a time and drive it in between. When you get ready to park it for the winter and all you have left to do is pull the cab and have the paint work done then you may be able to get it all back together in time for the next spring season.
I only know one guy that has started on a frame off restoration and finished it in a year, but he’s just a kid and still has lots of energy, right Peter???
