Time spent on project? and newbie questions.

[1 BAD BIRD]

Now that I am done with the planning and research stage I am looking at purchasing a starting point. I know I want a 68 Firebird. My question is how long do you guys/gals work on your project in any given week? The question I find myself asking is how long do you have to spend on it. Do I get a rust free example that still needs everything else done to it? I plan on putting a whole new 4th gen "style" interior...so that isn't important. A custom paint color so that isn't important. I am sure you all know the drill. OR Do I wait and spend more time and money waitng for a more finished example only to change things anyway? I have "backyard" experience when it comes to cars so my plans are to get mostly bolt on items and any fabrication/paint needed will have to be farmed out.

Any questions and comments would be greatly appreciated.
