If I were to....
If I were to.... What's up. I just wanted to see if I were to fabricate things for cars would anyone being interested in purchasing. I have all the equipment and skills needed to weld. In example I could easily weld up sub frame connectors bolt-in or weld in, and sell for basically half the price they cost new. I have all the tools and things, I'm actually having a 24 x 30 garage put in my back yard in the next few months and wanted to see if any one would be interested. I'm not looking for people to flame this and criticize my ideas. I already know what's involved and I know how much things cost that aren't to hard to make for our cars. I feel like I could help a lot of people out and make a few extra bucks for all my custom builds I have in store. Give me some feed back what everyone thinks. I wouldn't start doing this till the garage is built but I'm just really curious to what I could do.
Well,
First: You need to become a site sponsor to sell manufactured parts.
Second: Nobody is going to buy **** from you till you post some pics of your work. Lets see some of your projects (completed). You get what you pay for. Lets see some of this half priced stuff.
Third: If you do this, you'll need a list of the stuff you have for sale with prices, otherwise your basically opening a shop to do custom work.
Fourth: Its a tough racket to get into. People will still bitch if it's half price.

Makes perfect sense thank you. I'll get some pics when I get some things completed. I don't plan on doing this until it warms up over here. I'm just trying to figure out how'd it go. I always put amazing craftsmen ship into my work though.
Do it if you love it---otherwise not worth it.
making your own **** and answering only to your own ethics is a reward unto itself. (aside from customers being tire-kicking timewasters and whiny babies, that gets old real ******* quick-but you learn to spot 'em a mile away)
So far the best business results I have seen has been selling furniture to yuppies. They love that live-edge ****! Patina (rust & shitty paint)
Good luck. It's a tough gig. Anytime you make something legit, someone with less overhead will knock it off at half price...food for thought.
