Yep, when I retired put ~1000 hours in building! Funny was still in that plan and control mode so made a spread sheet with tasks required, estimated times and calendar as the group that did the interior had a 6 month back log BUT had to have it ready for them. As usual took twice as long as my estimate and was spending 12 hrs /day! Drove to the Interior Shop with just enough done to put on the road. Sat on raw foam seats.

This is a PDF of the "book" I bring to shows showing the construction: http://netwelding.com/Engineering%20...Rod%203-08.pdf

This is a pic soon after getting it home from the Body Builder up on 12 inch stanchions. No interior, Wiring, Cooling, Exhaust or AC System. Lots of work. Perfect when retiring. Started my current part time Internet business when it was competed.
