Just finished one. Hard question to answer though. A lot of variables in there. If you buy all the repo parts and out source all the labor you can get it together in 2 weekends one to take it apart and photograph and the next to assemble when you get all the parts back. Otherwise, If you are doing the labor yourself, then a lot factors in, for instance, is it all there? are all the pieces salvageable? will you strip paint and sandblast or lightly sand and spray, I have a weekend in just the calculator. A weekend in stripping the paint from the panels and getting them ready for sandblasting, I have a weekend in bead blasting and coating all the small parts.
A weekend for other stuff. Plan on minimum 100 hours and more likely double or triple that depending on repairs/quality of work/???
Oh, and if you send anything out to be chromed, do that first, it takes 6-12 weeks for that. email me off list if you have any specific questions about how I did it. It was my first one.
