Just get your self a marker board and start a list.
1) MII front end 16hrs (so two Satrudays)
2) drivers side rockers and cab corner 8hr
3) pass side 8hrs
and so on.

This way as you get a spare day you know what you should be able to nock out and check off.
Good luck as I have a 5month old and find it alot harder now to find Spare time as well.

looks like it should be a good build. Did you do all of the work on the frame the first time you owned it or was it done by the guy that bought it from you?
