Nice Move. I would like to dedicate more to JKMotorsports. I don't have the *****, finances or Marketing area to do it right now.
But one thing, Should have gotten a Hypertherm Plasma, the Miller will dissappoint you, and the Reapir bills will kill you. I know I was!!!!

If I were making my own business I would at least come up with a name for it that is original... and if I couldnt be original at least use a name that isnt from a related business. Simply go to c.c.f.ab.com (remove the periods, forum censors it) and see a fabrication company that has been around quite a while. Anyone want to open up an oil line business with me? We can call it Covertmode or Hiddenmode :1

When they are looking for their oil lines, they'll be like, i think the place was Stealth something. A quick google search will put you right there and will allow you to sell more.....
or call it "The Real Stealthmode" different but the same.
Anyone remember the ghostbusters and the real ghostbuster......I'm old..

I guess this is why the guys with business degrees now need to higher engineers as consultants to fix their companies efficiency.
On a more serious note, I'm going to give you a little advice. I would make damn sure when hotrex decides to take a few days/weeks off for personal reasons, there are other people you can call up and make sure the work will get done, even if it means cutting your profit margin dramatically. If CoreyR is running the business but can't weld well, then you're SOL when hotrex decides he can't make manifolds for a couple of days/weeks. You may not need to higher that person full time, but make sure there is someone you can call up when you need to, because you will need to call them. Also, look into taking a welding course. $300-400 investment will end up helping your company quite a bit.

as far as josh going to school to take a class about welding. im not sure if he ever has but if hes been welding manifolds for this long and it seems like he's doing a good job. i see no ------- reason for him to waste his time with school when hes getting more practice time at work then he would at school. maybe he could always go down and ask for some pointers or ask a question hes been having trouble with. but hes got everything setup and hes been welding for awhile now. i bet he could go down and take the tig test to get certified in welding pipe(or at least he should lol).
as far as him failing and not making money becuase him and a few friends are goign to have to share the money. who knows. he might not fail, he might have a month turnaround time but if his friend is honest to the customers and keep the prices low and improves quality with everyday that passes he can make a once failed buisness into a chinese boomin workshop. but its going to take determination-hard work-cooperation-money-a schedule-and honesty this time.
im not sure what josh was doing for a living before this c.c.f.a.b.buisness but i bet its a bigstep up and a jump alot of us dont take or would fail at(just like he did HAHA) but he is getting back up and ready to do it right this time(hopefully).
if i knew customers were getting there manifolds on time and the same cheap prices i would probibly order from him if i didnt want to hassle with trying to make one. i think hotsex advertised way to much and let personell problems get in the way(what a ------- emo basterd).

(luckily most people order there stuff ahead of time, but for some its hard because thats all your waiting for to finish your project).

Re: what weve been doing for awhile now and new toys pics**
doc look at it this way. bvefiore i had to get the material, cut it all , polish it all, tack it ect.
with more hands i am able to sit at the welder for hrs and hrs without disruption, one mani si done, im fed another one reay to be welded, rather than me having to stop welding and cut/prep ect again.
plus while im welding, whos gonna answet he phone, ship ---- and make traction bars ect?
cant do it alone.
