Just one and for just the mini-tub portion, it was pretty darn straight forward. Throw in all the extras that people are throwing out and it's a different story.

I've worked on a few f-bodies in my day.

That's great! how long did the straight foreward part take? I know it takes more than 10 hours to do it, with the average shop rat being 50-75 dollars labor would be 500-750 plus parts now that is if it only takes 10 hours! Most who have done more than 1 will tell you it takes allot longer than 10 hours, ask Joe or Kevin from Stenod, I'm not trying to argue, but when you do your own car you really dont track the time it takes to do the job not only that your doing it for free!

15 minutes in and out but I used duct tape because welding rod is HEAVY.

If you only replace the inner wheel house it does go pretty quick but that defeats the purpose of the minitub job. Replace the out portion of the house is tough and so is flushing the frame rail and the notching. I agree I think 10 hrs is really shy of what it actually takes. I am think more like 20 if you want to have it look good and be well done..
