Easy. 1-2 hrs including rehydration breaks. If you haven't already, get the DDM replacement coolant tank a (Edit - Doh!) and do both at the same time. I've done it on 2 of my SS's and another on a friends.
You can save yourself 1/2 that time by just forgetting the lower radiator hose. It takes an hour by itself and you'll never see it anyways. At least, that's where the problem was on mine.

Thanks!!! I will forget about that one if you cannot see it... no point other than to upgrade to silicone.
And if you haven't, get these hose clamps too. Otherwise you'll be threading cable ties through stuff. And these look just plain kewl when done.

Well the hoses came with clamps.... no good????????????
Different clamps. Those hose clamps in the kit are what is needed to connect each end of the hose. The SlingMods clamps are to hold the hoses in place on top of the engine.

ahhhhhh more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I get it 
Yours are clamps that you need to clamp hose ends on. The other is divider that separates the hoses to lay strait. It looks great with those and you can put them on later. Also autozone has some cool clamps for hose ends that look better than those you have. It’s all about the spending and looks.

Yeah, but you've already spent $400+ on the tank and hoses. This last $45 is worth it. I promise you.
Since you got the tank, did you get the reroute hose too? You'll want that since you got the tank.
My suggestion is to get a contrasting color to your engine and hoses. I see hoses are orange, so I would recommend Black or Silver. What color theme are you doing on your engine? Have you painted the valve cover yet?

Now stop. Just stop that. it never ends!!! I just got done ordering those clamps and now more?? LOL LOL Ok I will look up the re-route hose thingy. Thanks for the help. I think 
Now Peg, you know that we can help you spend your mod money, and your wishlist money, etc.
So that I don't plagiarize, let me send you direct to the DDM Works ReRoute Hose information. Great pics and explanation. I don't think it's "required" but it helps clean up the hoses too. Dave@DDMWorks can give a lot more details I'm sure.

The coolant re-route helps the steam that builds up in all engines around the cylinders get out of the system easier and get back to the coolant tank where it can condense back into coolant and go back into the system. It is a great idea on turbo/supercharger engines since you are generating more heat in the system, even on naturally aspirated engines it is a good idea.
Hope that helps,
Dave

hey Dave... going to install your coil cover tomorrow. it says "begin by removing the plastic retainer located on the passenger side front of the stock valve cover." I don't see what that is referring to on my 2017 slingshot....... ???? Thanks

That is for when installing on the Solstice / Sky 2.4L, not a factor on the Slingshot.
The toughest part to mounting the tank is getting it into place without scratching it or the rear of the cam cover. Wrap painters tape on the tank to protect it as you force it into place. oh and have fun getting the short hose hooked to the bottom of the tank. You need small hands and a lot of cuss words. IMHO
Hurry up Peg!!..............................
You got rides to lead in New England!!!
