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.
Thanks Craig, that is very helpful info.
