Harvey I did the wood body in 9 months with one primary friend coming over 1 night a week. I acquired a good compound miter saw, a router table and more sanding doodads than I could count. We did some stuff that we got super lucky with (ahem B pillar). I would also said an air nailer and a good hand plane for the rear bed are good. The one spot that we compromised on the blueprints was the roof. I built the support struts but instead of strips of wood we went with 1/4" ply on a hot midwest august day and Pringle shaped that thing with the nailer and hid the seam between one support.

If you go slow, have fun, don't drink all your beers before the project is finished for the night then it turns out really well.
