Juan, as Ben can attest, it's a labor-intensive job to do right, even for professionals. Doing it for a living makes you better at it, but nothing will make you faster at it.
The RR will take only two weeks when it goes in to the paint shop, because I've spent a month of weekends disassembling it and doing prep-work. And odds are it will take another month to get it back together once the paint's done, and most people say to expect a month and a half. That will be 20 days, about 160 man-hours (and that's conservative, cause I tend to keep going and going). Now imagine doing that to about 20 cars in various stages. I'm seriously considering using some vacation time to make the re-assembly go faster. I haven't gotten to actually drive the thing in months!
