Hey guys... here's a fun one for you... how long would it take for one man (a rookie, but pretty handy), working one day a week, to do a frame off restoration on a '59 Apache? I can't wait for your answers... hahaha
If you have any other life, forever. When i was 20 i could work in the shop half the night 6 day/week. Now i'm lucky to get 3 hours a week.
I have known people that finished of frame restos in a few months, working every day on the project.
