Dude it took me around 10 months total. I worked on it after work and on saturdays mostly, toward the end I just took off of work for 2 weeks so I could finish it up. Then wet sanding and buffing was a whole nother pain in the ass. I wanted everthing to be staight and perfect. The quality looks the same in person. I painted the car with everything apart so I would have no dryspots anywhere, like door jambs, t-tops, trunk, engine bay, etc etc. I would not atempt doing a job like this if you don't know what you are doing. I have been a body man for 5 years now.
