Default Completley Customizing Interior - How many shop labor hours?

Im not too mechanically inclined but here's what I plan to have done to the '71:

1. Power Window Conversion using heavy duty motors/regs
2. Central Power door lock conversion using heavy duty actuators
3. Keyless Entry wired up
4. Custom Power Seats installed/wired up
5. New Carpet installed while everything is out
6. All digital Dakota Guages installed including Speedo and Tach

Assuming I find all my parts, how many hours at $69/hr do you guys think this should take?

So when I get some estimated I know it's reasonable (10hrs? 12hrs? 15 hrs? 20hrs?)

Thanks!!

How is this for a guess:
Doors 4 hours each for disassemble, motors, keyless and re-assemble
Seats and wiring three hours.
Gauges and wiring - six hours
Carpet (remove old, remove underlining and repalce with new) - 4 hours

I would say at least 20 hours, but I bet it ends up being 40!

If you split the difference and call it 30 hrs @ 69, $2070.00 pays for quite a bit of do it yourself training. You could buy a bunch of books and tools for that much. Just my $.02. Good Luck whichever way you go. :seeya
