I built my shop for collision repair and I always had 1 customer resto and 1 of my projects of coarse I had big dreams of going all custom and getting out of the b.s. of insurance work, but after all the sh** I know at least the insurance companies checks dont bounce, and I almost get paid for my materials, and usually you can make at least double on their labor rates. So if I take some more customs or restorations in they will be billed weekly or bi-weekly, if I order the parts we will either mark them up 25% or charge them an hourly rate for doing all the leg work with the parts being paid up front before ordering or they can order their own parts. I also think the kinds of cars I want to build are way to expensive for where I live, so I'll keep building them and selling them untill I hopefully get a good enough name where maybe I'll get the better paying customers who want to get a custom car built. I'm not giving up I'm just going to do it my way for now and build the kind of cars that I want to build. So in that keep in mind my 72 cuda, 6.1 hemi, alterktion front, air ride air bar, wilwood brakes will be for sale after columbus next year!!! thanks for all the response's Telly Violetto
