thanks again guys

kid, it's refreshing to see that kind of insight from a young guy. If you can remember that it's as much about running the business as about doing the custom work you'll do well.

I believe you think just because i ask that question, i dont know what im doing. or I am un knoweldgable on the subject... well i can say im just getting started. i have plenty to learn and plenty i have already learned.

We've all heard stories about shops butchering peoples cars (some to the point the cars were scrapped). I'd say you need buddy up with an existing shop/serious hobbiest that does that kind of work before you go experimenting on a customers pride and joy.

Also, you need to build exactly what the customer wants regardless of what the traditional definition is.
