I also came to the conclusion I am going to have to spend many many more miles on the road to increase sales. My half-ton truck isn't going to cut it, unfortunately. That is what scares me the most. I'm going to have to go out and purchase a truck capable of handling what I need. I just bought the one I have and am going to have to sell the darn thing and go into debt

My car just may very well be put up for sale. I'm entertaining that thought now. I need capital
Have you tried angel investors? Some financies can get you a low interest grant. There are tons of programs out there for new start ups. Im not sure how they do it with partnerships, but if you have decent credit you should be good for at least 75K. Just something to think about.

The way I see it you are losing 50% but I understand you are burnt out.
You have better odds with a business loan and finishing the car later. I say take a break, apply and let it ride. The car should be a last resort.

How far is the car from being a roller?
