With no job and all the parts available, two months is doable. I got mine as a "1/2 roller", meaning the rear was in but the front suspension, brakes, etc. were in boxes. I spent just shy of a year finishing mine but that included the fact that I do have a pesky job and was traveling a good bit, I also did a number of little extras to kill time because my engine wasn't ready so that added almost 3 months and I also wound up having to take the rear apart and disassemble one of the half-shafts to replace a faulty bearing. So, if you're able to work on it a lot, your expectation is reasonable.

As much of a hurry as you'll be in to drive the car, don't rush it. I still enjoy going back through photos of my build and recalling those days.
