1000 hours to install a full frame on unibody car? That would equate to about $65,000-$75,000 extra on a build. Are you sure about this number Frank? I have seen our dealers in the 80-200hr range but not this much. Not trying to call you out, but that number seems excessive.
Edit- Just spoke with Alloway on his latest MaxG build. He has a sheetmetal shop roll the trans tunnel and driveshaft tunnel for him and doing the whole floor is about 100hours or "two weeks". It can take longer depending on how much you get into the firewall. Bobby felt that it was easier to re-floor a car than fabbing patch panels to repair a stock floor. Then add 20-40Hrs on building body mounts and brackets to hold the body to frame and you are in the 150hr range.
