Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Jason, my dads cousin has the "crash" book from the 70's. It gives you 14 hours per side to cut and replace each quarter. 1.5 hrs per outer wheelhouse and 2 per inner wheelhouse. None of those figures include finishing, paint ect. Let's just say that those numbers are dead on. I'm sure the refinish is a lot quicker in the 70's then today. Someone correct me on that if I'm wrong. But I had both quarters welded on in a FULL weekend. Finishing is another story. It's tough to tackle at first, but just keep picturing what you want it to look like when it's done and take your time.
