Can someone give me an estimate of the number of hours of labor that a good Porsche shop would require to weld in all of the panels in a chassis-stiffening kit?

done properly I would geusstimate at 7-10 hours start to finish. This is removing the interior, stripping the paint from the longs and rear panel, etch priming them with a weld through etch primer. Cleaning the new panels and etching them. welding it all in, then final paint. 7 being the car cam ein with all of the interior alrwady removed, and the owner reinstalling it. Having
I currently have 3 cars lined up for just this operation, and can do a writeup on it if wanted including hours. It will be a few weeks before I do the first one though. |
