Re: well--I think he's back at it
he did this pretty much exactly a year ago with me and miltiple others, got "into the business" again. took the money, blew it all on "other things" then never produced any product for about 4 people. Just fell off the face of the earth.
Then he came back about 6 months after that, so id say like 6 months ago or so. now looks like hes gone again with more people's money. lol

WEll rule one is a succesful business always has a project car never done
. I know myself Im too busy working/buying new tools/reordering inventory to ever get a chance to build cars. It sounds odd but really its the truth. The only shops that are succesful and have race cars running are people who have alot of backing. A 20 year old kid doesnt have any neither do I.

Alot of the time when I know something is going to take a couple weeks to do I just have them throw a small down payment and when its done I request the rest of the payment works out pretty well.

Yup thats how I charge for the itb's which I only do 2 sets a year or so.
