PICS Help...How many hours for a perfect Frame Off OPINIONS?

[72Levi]

Hello All, How many hours does it take to do a complete frame off restoration. I know that it may vary from owner to owner as ones perfection may differ from another. However, we all know what a REAL nice frame off looks like. I have a 1972 original Cheyenne Super Stepside and I have been thinking about doing a complete frame off. I realize that this is a hobby and I do expect long hours, but I just don't want to get burned out. I have restored a 1968 Camaro, 1970 Corvette, 1967 Firebird convertible, and 1969 Chevy Truck, but nothing like a complete frame off. I am simply taking opinions about how many hours it would take. Here are some pics, I do need rockers and cab corners for it to be PERFECT, other than that she's in pretty decent shape for being 35 years old. Thanks all. Here is a pic of the 1970 I did a few years back. In fact if I did this I would want to start a build thread, you guys/gals are always very helpful!
