We have a restoration project broken down by 730+ individualized tasks for scheduling in Microsoft Project, and the template breaks it down in about 1,400 hours for a Roadster, ...and over 2,000 hours for a wood-bodied Sedan or Vic. Granted, our hours includes restoring door latches, window regulators, and all of the sub-component peripheral items that many don't bother with, ...but to answer the OP question directly, even if you have 50 hours a week to devote to the project, 12 weeks only gives you 600 hours. Somewhere along the way you need to factor in hidden damage delays, incorrect or ill-fitting parts, and unforeseen parts/materials delays.

Brent, As someone who did project management as a career for many years back in the dark ages before the advent of the PMBOK (Project Management Book of Knowledge), I really appreciate the work that went into to template. If I were going to embark on a restoration project I would give good money for a copy of your template.
