Put all my own projects on the back burner
I worked and went to my shop at night for the first year,I quit a good paying managment job and went to my shop full time, It was a drastic change. I worked 7 days a week and 16-18 hour days for a long time, and still due when needed. Determanation and hard work, and being straight up and honest is what has worked for us. We have put out some cars that were not intended to be indoor show cars and have managed to beat up on some very big name builders and win alot of awards. Oh yeah...its Sundayand I am at work right now, I have been block sanding so long my firgers are ready to fall off.
