On the dash, if it's cracked I was thinking of fixing it and wrapping it in Alcantara.

The car in question will fill the bill. That is easily a year long project working all week every week unless you can actually be productive, not researching, buying, waiting, etc. for a full 8 hours each day which = 1000 hours, about the minimum amount of time for a car like that. 1000 hours full time is 1/2 year.
So yeah, a year in practical terms with not much time off. Subbing out things helps, of course. Still takes time though because you're waiting on others. That actually can make a project go longer as well as more expensive.
BTDT a few times. One to 2 years for me on a full restoration working as much as possible while having a day job.
