i know the feeling on sittin around and waiting for parts, took me a little over two months from start to finish on my swap, sittin in the same boat your in though. full time student and full time job, i used the rare spare time that i had to do a little at a time. i would actually come home on my lunch break and torch a little or weld a little. but all the little time i spent added up in a big way and i am rollin solid.
