Default Metal Work Time Frame (for my '69 Firebird)?
Talked to my builder several days ago and he mentioned that he is about ready to begin metal work on my '69 Firebird. (Finally!)

What is the average time frame for metal work on:

Full floor
Full Trunk
Full Quarter
A Quarter Patch

Thanks for the help.

That's about 40-50 hours, keep in mind, when old metal comes off you can find more rust,and may end up needing wheelhouses and other rust repair

Could you break it down for each process?

Mini tubs are going on also.

Thanks.
