Restoration hours?

Hey guys so I have done a few projects myself now and have a friend that wants to have me take on a project for him so that I can make some money and he can save some instead of paying a shop. I was wondering if you could help me just with the hours a shop would bill out for the following in a 1972 monte carlo (I told him to build something mopar but he wont change):

Engine Swap (350- 350 crate engine)-
Transmission swap (column shift -floor shift)-
Steering Column-
Wiring entire vehicle ( no power windows or power door locks)-
Front suspension-
Rear suspension-
Front disc brake conversion-
Rear drum brakes-
Interior install ( dash is still in but needs seats, and a new center console)-


Body work has already been done and I will find someone to paint it for him through a shop. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

I was hoping to get just hours if someone has an idea as Im not a "shop" so I shouldnt be charging what a shop charges for hourly rate.

35 Day project..... From what I see

Approx 350 Billing hours
Friend Labor rate $ 35.00 Per Hour
Customer/Buddy provides all the parts and supply's (All)

The Good Guy Price $ 12,250.00 USD

That a Smok'in Deal in my book...

Just my 2 cents
