Maybe if you have a shop, equipt with all the Guzzi tools and polishing
fixtures for rims and such as well as a regular pipe line for powder
coat and chrome you could do it in 100hrs.
For a guy thats good with his hands and used to working on loops in his
garage, it could go WAY past 100hrs. To correctly polish a rim and
spokes, stripping the spokes off, relacing and trueing. This takes hours
to complete correctly and thats just the two wheels.
A true ground up for sale would cost thousands and they do sell for
thousands. I've seen $9,000 to $12,000 Ambo's and Eldo's that are done
right and people tell me they loose there shirts sell ing these bikes
for this kind of money.
Beware of "Ground Up" restorations
