Well the crowd has spoken and the message seems to be fairly consistent. People like Paul and Alan do this stuff every day. Any big variances you are getting are due to two things only;

- differences in scope

- differences in quality

I'm sure you are doing a quality job so any differences would be scope related. In my case my bodyshop may have spent 10-15% longer as they aren't mopar specialists and I had to do most of the research and explain it to them......but at the end of the day, I'm confident that I got what I paid for and it was well over 500 hours. Of course every car is different as is every resto.

What I'd be interested in from some of the participants on this thread is how long do you think a total restoration goes? EVERY nut, bolt, bodywork, paint, mechanical systems, machine work, sub-assembly restoration: EVERYTHING.....1000 hours? 1500?
