Welcome to the forum Jason, glad to meet you and your dad. Please post some pictures of your progress along the way and speaking of way. If you look at the join date of some of us guys, not that anybody is lazy but it is impossible to come up with a total time on this build as it is a hobby project that takes time. Some of us need to sit back and admire our work along the way and pat ourselves on the back before continuing with the project sooooo. Just have fun with it and please share any short cuts that you might have along the way.
