It is a little tricky to figure out, because there was a lot of "crossover" work done, i.e. fuel cells mounts, etc. but I would say the fab work for the rear start to finish was around 100 hours.

Did you have to narrow the suspension? the axles?
We went as far as we could WITHOUT narrowing the actual drivetrain. One parameter that I would not change was the IRS rear suspension. We did not want to mess up all of the engineering that GM put into that. But to do that, the backspace on the rear wheels is literally at the maximum. The rear wheels are 18 x 12.5 with a 345 DR. This pic will give you the idea...
