I'm a quick learner and when you stand to close to fire you get burned. I have a few scares. But scares build character.
Another thing is every project built in any shop goes over budget. Everyone has grand ideas and short strokes on what it will take and all it takes is just little bit more of this and little bit more of that. If you say that enough times pretty soon you have spent 10 grand.
It amazes me that well over 50% of building hot rods professionally has nothing to do with anything that is done in the shop. If you want to make money building hot rods, go get a real job. If you cannot see your self doing anything else, you must have the passion, but passion does not help you run a business, WELL.
