I am fine with that but don't lead me to believe that it will be done sooner than that. Just tell me.
The interior and firewall should be painted, the cab and bed in primer and the new GM doors and fenders will stay in their E-coat. It's going to look like a heinz 57 for a while but it will get there.

I wouldn't mount the doors and fenders with the e-coat. It won't stand up to the weather very long. You would be better off putting your old doors and fenders back on if you just want it moveable.
I would let them paint the cab and firewall; that will give you plenty to reassemble. If you have to do the fenders and doors, let the shop seal them and paint the insides; that way you can put the guts in and not have to take it all back off.
