Default 30 days?

I just finished 30 days of dedicated work on my 76 and I was wondering whats the most work everyone else has been able to get done in 30 days or less?

My list:
Demon carb rebuild.
383 stroker swap.
Vortec heads and manifold install.
Rack and pinion steering conversion.
All fluid fittings and lines replaced with AN fittings and stainless braided hoses.
Vintage Air AC install.
Interior and engine compartment wiring harness build. (all 16G or bigger wiring.)
Electric headlight conversion.
H11 headlights.
Engine compartment fuse/Relay box.
Power steering pump rebuild.
Hydroboost brake conversion.
Window motor replacement (both sides).

Day 31 will be finding a local place to crimp my AC hoses and charge the system.

Next month will be paint and body. Daytona blue metallic flake, Fiberglass bumpers, Luggage rack, and rechroming the side pipes.

Sounds like you are on PCS leave from the Army or something like that. That's what I used to do (get everything i could done within 30-45 days).

Use or lose leave in the Navy. I was at 90 days and Oct 1st my use or lose limit drops to the standard 60.

Troubleshooting and fixing some problems now. Thankfully its becoming spring quickly and I get some extra daylight hours after work.
