Dil I can appreciate the keeping motivated. When Debs car came home from the body shop in April 04 everyone thought the car might at best make the last cruise-in. Deb informed me it would be done in time to cruise it a bit before the 1st big show the end of May. Oh no... Even I was wondering if I could. Heck it took 3 nights just to disassemble it!
Come home from work grab something to snack on and eat dinner at 11:00. I made the 1st local cruise-in 1st friday of may. Car wasnt complete but I had time to debug and final details before the show. More than a few were stunned to see it rolling so quick. Thanks to Deb working right along with me made it easier. Our two year old was out there with us in her stroller quite a bit too! Rebuilding/restoring the dash harness was the longest project. Price of a new one was nuts. The aftermarket dashpad didnt fasten like the stock one and had to improvise. The new convertible top was cut wrong and some trim holes got welded closed by mistake at the body shop. One of the boys had borrowed fasteners out of a bag and lost labels in other bags. I just recently found a can of hardware that was mia. Deb and I didnt put any parts in coffee cans so I suspect one of the boys needed one of our plastic tubs for fishing or something.
So... barring obstacles I think you got plenty of time Dil. You'll be done before you know it. Looking great.
