Rodger form ironworks is right.If you try to give them a discount so you both can get started you end cutting your own throat.Because they will come back and want even more of a discount the next time.They will ask you to just work with them one more time.He will tell you he needs one more job from you to get that car built.Its funny the guys you give the deepest deals to is the one that will hardly ever tell his customers about who really does the work.Open your shop slowly.Do one job at a time do the very best work you can do.Charge what you think the job is worth.Stick to your guns.If the customer wants a discount or thinks your price is to high tell him thanks but no thanks and move on to the next customer.When a customer wants you to work cheaper that means he also cheap.Cheap and quaitly only work when its your car and you are working for fun. Good Luck.Scott
