I would plan on 2-3 months to do the body work. There is good and bad with this brand of body (same as mine). The good, and this does not apply if you want a light weight car but rather a car which is structurally sound with a uni-body construction concept and has enough material to have the paint appear nice without waves, is that the fiber glass on these cars is exceptionally thick. The bad news is in terms of dimensional integrity these kits are absolute garbage. So... put these two extremes together, and you can have a nice result.

I ended up bolting the body to the frame at every possible opportunity. I ended up with a very stiff car, no vibrations, no fiberglass cracks, and a very very nice mirror finish. Also took about 4 months of 30 hours a week and a 10K paint job at a pro shop.
