Gary - IF you're short on funds, triple the amount of time you estimate
it'll take you to accomplish this task, quadruple the amount of
home-brew you mentioned, talk the wife & kids into spending the rest of
the weekend with the grandparents, make sure you have a friend (sober)
to keep an eye on you and have at it

IF you have the bucks, put all your parts into a box, drop the VW off at
your front-end shop at 7AM Monday and enjoy the home-brew this afternoon
& tomorrow watching football along with your buddies who you talked into
bringing over several party-platters from Red Lobster.  Check it at the
Grandparents, though, to see how the family's doing.
