You didn't read anything did you?
LET ME RESTATE- no body paint beyond necessary for suspension and firewall work and I am not looking for a SEMA car. I want a versatile street car that can outperform most modern cars on the street or the track should I find an opportunity to track it. I am also looking to drive it to events, the power tour, etc and not load it in a trailer and haul it to a show.

Estimation based on another build they did, where they did not do the paint (but did do some body mods and it was a convertible so they did some work on the top) was 668 hours. He felt it would be less due to no convertible top or body work at all other than the firewall, mini-tubs, and suspension, but not much.
My thought was that it was closer to 300-350 hours worth of work. The real number will likely lie somewhere between my number and his, I just didn't know how much more or less. That's why I came here.
