This is a side job so he gets to it when he can. He has about 32 hours so far. Some of the real dirty stuff I'll do such can cleaning the trunk floor and sanding down the top. The hours will go up as soon as he starts replacing the quarters and trunk extensions. I've done the disassembly and will do the re-assembly.

They are doing the front part of the car, get all that straight before going to the rear of the car. The top and interior is next. Going to coat the floor and the underside of the top with Raptor. Give it strength and some sound deadening

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
