My time estimate on 400-500 hours was for a first time builder,with modest skills and would include time running down parts,etc not just wrench time.I believe any one could substantially cut that time the second time around,and there is probably a lot of crossover between makes of Cobras as far as skills needed,and even parts required.On a donor build there is also time required to clean up and rebuild as nessary,assuming that the builder is not just transferring parts from Mustang to FFR to get it on the road.I certainly hope I haven't offended any one at this site(I"m trying to make some new friends!),but just sharing the experience of this old perfectionist.FFR will send out a manual ahead of time,and I found it most beneficial.
