I'm sure it's possible, but working "weekends" for 6 months is probably not going to get you a finished FF. Would you be doing the paint and body work? Donor build or new parts? Engine? There are lots of factors which could seriously screw with a timeline of 6 months, plus another month for the inspection/registration process.

I agree, 6 months just isn't feasible IMO. It's rare someone just gets a paint job completed in a shop in 6 months anymore. If you do all the work completely yourself including body and paint, you will have to put in 40 hours a week, every week on it probably.
