O.K. , but to continue with the alittle farther. If it really is a "bolt up" / "drop in" type of conversion... why then 100 man hours to do? I had the entire driveline out of the Bertone in less than 2 hours ( unplugging and disconnecting everything the right way ) the entire interior is out, including dash, heater box, headliner, trim and mldgs in another 9-12 hrs ( a few hours each evening after work and 1 Sunday afternoon )

Where does the rest of the labor time come in? I really am curious, I am concerned that when the car comes back from the paint shop, the Converse kit has arrived, the doner driveline is sitting here... that something unexpected
is lurking in the shadows...

Thoughts?

p.s. I am not counting on the small details, like going back and adding braided lines, special harness covers and wraps, tuning to 100% performance, etc. I am only speaking of driveline in and able to safely drive up and down the street.
