Don't read anything into what I said above. I still do all my own work with the exception of upholstery. What I'm saying is that the prices of the materials used is starting to hurt a bit more then I believe it should. These prices I stated far exceed the cost of living index (which IMO is a government lie). I should have also stated that we 'ain't seen nothin' yet'. Just wait until the Cap and Trade plus the Health Care increases get added to the cost/price economic spiral.

Sorry if I wandered into a bit of the forbidden subject here of politics, but that WILL be a fact of life and will affect the costs of our car hobby....or businesses in some cases.
