My SVO was completely stripped, only one quarter has any mud, from being wrecked lord knows when and the quarter was reskinned. Hell, putting the T tops in only took about 30 hours..
I know what it takes to paint a car, worked on everything from a Morris taxi to a Pantera. Many MGBs, and domestics.
Not knocking the work. Just a comment on the hours just to build a hood.
I've done it for a living and I bet I have 50 + hours into my hood. Granted I made a basic mold and all.
135hrs really isn't bad for a first time deal learning as you go. I've seen people with all the skill/knowledge spend more time and turn out a product that resembles poo more than body work.
