Start small with one or two specialties. Sublet a good paint shop. Sublet a good engine builder and tuner. Interior, etc. That type of stuff. But I like your enthusiasm. You're young and have nothing to lose but maybe a nice dream. Go for it but don't get too far in over your head.
I would own the place, of course, but I enjoy working on cars. It's awesome. I wouldn't mind the extra hours, especially if I make good buck. Yeah I'm thinking I should start off with a few departments and expand in accordance to how much business I'm getting. Anyways, thanks for your support.
