Restoration Project Time Line

How long has your restoration project been a restoration project? When did you start and how long do you anticipate it will take to finish it?

Hey there,
Well, it's kinda a tricky question. Sometimes it takes longer because of money, sometimes it takes longer depending on time you have available. On the show "TRUCKS" they said the avarage time it takes for a gear head to do a build-up is 4 years.
I have been working on mine for 2.5 years. I will probably be done close to the 3 year mark(god willing). The big thing is be patient, figure on twice to three times what you plan for your budget, don't cut corners and above all else, do it the way you want to, no matter what anyone else might think
P.S. I have pics in my gallery if your interested of my build-up.
James
