take your time estimate and multiply by 3. take your money estimate and multiply by 4 and you may be close.
My 53 had the cab mounted and engine installed and wired into an s-10 frame, then I decided I did not like the radiator/steering interference and have went the route of '53 frame, modified cab, and a suspension redo. currently working on 3 years calendar time or about 80 hours total.
