Good luck on your project. It takes a lot of determination to come home from work and go to your "second job". LOL. I try to make progress every week if not every evening. I also concentrate on one part of the project at a time.
For instance. I bought a complete K-frame first. I worked on it until I had every part the way I wanted it, even the Firm Feel steering box. I didn't worry about or work on any other part of the car until it was completely finished. Then the Dana rear, etc.

When I brought the car home from the body shop, I had the K-frame, rear end, trans, engine, heater core and dash completed and ready to go into the car. This also helps spread the expenses out, yet gives you satisfaction that a part of the car is finished.

Hope that helps.
