better start wearing a whiplash pillow around your neck!

$$$ ? No clue - lots. Stereo alone was a few grand, cam/springs/rockers etc. was about $1700 plus specialist tools I had to buy - numerous other mods was additional $$$. Dunno, guess around $9-10k so far.

Hours? Almost a solid year. I'm usually working on the car when I'm not driving it (22,000 miles in the last year) or working/sleeping
