Depends on a lot of things. If it is allready a roller, than your buddy didn't have to put on the rotors, calipers, swaybars, Knock off adapters. Adjust the E-brake, remove the plastic sheeting from the tin, remove the cosmolene. Install the headlights, turnsignals, tail lights, etc. Then there are the "upgrades" like installing fuel cell, MSD, removing quickjack and rollbar for chroming, sending headers and sidepipes out for ceramic coating. Then there are the little touches: bending and reflaring (for AN fittings) the factory hard fuel line instead of just shoving a 3'8" ruber hose over the ends, grinding down the E-brake calipers so they don't rub on the 15" wheels. Plumbing the whole fuel system with AN lines and a high volume electric pump instead of rubber hose with worm clamps and an engine mounted mechanical pump. Removing, drilling and tapping the throttle arms for a second set screw so it won't ever slip. making a stainless polished carb linkage instead of the gold iridited factory rod. Grinding the paint off the grounding tabs on the frame. Carefully checking the scattershield for crankshaft centerline alignment and correcting if necessary, adjusting clutch fork ball stud. Setting the proper "at rest" height for the gas and cluth pedals. Adjusting ride height at all four corners. Sending car out for proper four wheel alignment prior to road testing. Buffing out the tiny swirl marks the fender covers left on the front fenders during all this work. Almosy forgot to mention: making the -10
oil cooler lines and securing them, putting together the radiator hoses, prelubing the whole
oil cooler setup, pressure testing the fuel system for leaks with compressed air and soapy water. Shimming the motor mounts, installing badges, etc.
The time goes quickly when it is your own car.
