Based on this, about 7 1/2 hours for the whole job, plus parts. The
question is, based on your experience, and assuming you've got the parts on
the shelf ready to go, is 7 1/2 hours a reasonable time for that job?
BTW, I noticed that under Radiator and hoses, it says
"R&R NOSE PANEL ASSY. TO FACILITATE OTHER WORK 2.3 "
G'luck..
