Do you guys think that there is enough of a market in this area to open a shop that does installs and custom bodywork and paint in this area? We were thinking about Holland or somewhere NE Grand Rapids? Dealing with Civics and other imports and quick domestics, but working closely with people with my first love the Contour. I know there is "The Spot Motorsports" or whatever but we're talking about quality work here from people that know their trades. My body/paint guy that i've been talking to about this has been doing it for about 7 years and is damn good. Just some examples of services would be like:
Body color matched interior paint for like $100. Actual automotive paint with base and clear not just spray can.
Parts: any parts you need could be purchased and most of them installed.
Exhaust work: removing resonators, installing mufflers.
It would more or less be a couple of guys doing what they love out of a rented garage somewhere. But still remaining professional and offering quality service. This would also be reflected in the prices we would offer. We would prob. beat any price around town on most services. I'm new to this whole thing so i'm just kinda tossing around some ideas. Please let me know what you guys are thinking. Ask your friends and people at the Lot too. I appreciate your feedback and hope to make this work out for all of us.
