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?

Last winter I welded in the Engman kit. My interior was already removed and I think the prep time was about 3-4 hours? If I remember right the welding was another 4 to 5. I didn't do it constantly for that whole time. Bending and laying down and twisting to weld all the welds suck at 40 degree temps in the garage. But I was impressed with the fit of the parts and how it turned out when I was done.
If you have any welding skills at all? It really isn't that difficult to do |
