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?

When I welded my car and added stress kitting, I spent an entire day on the preparation side and another day on the welding (maybe part of a third day). I used every kit offerred since "I am a frustrated engineer". kits installed: Brad Mayuer Longs, interior cockpit kit, rear suspension inner ears, lower shock/rear suspension to firewall, and seam welding in critical area of the body. Thus, no body flex; requires the suspension and tires to provide more flexibillity and service.
I may add some more stress kitting along the top of the shock mount to the firewall, cross bracing both laterally and long wise in the front, etc. Final suspension changes will determine these needs. |
