No idea. I haven't kept track of labor for individual hours / areas.
This car has had A LOT of sheetmetal replaced. Once Im done with it( here very soon ) I'll add up the total labor hours.

If I had to put a guess on your repair. I think 40-50 is reasonable. Your talking about a lot of hand fitting. Possibly some fab work for areas/sections not avail in the aftermkt

The paint work required is going to depend a lot on the type of paint on it now. If its base clear, it'll be reasonably easier to blend in. Single stage ,,,not so much
