    What does the e-body/Mopar world need?
    « on: February 06, 2008 - 12:40:45 AM »
    Many of you are aware that I am losing my job in a few weeks. One of the things I always wanted to do was start a business of my own, and I was wondering if there may be something I can do in the ebody world, the Mopar world, or maybe the classic car world as a whole.

    Are there any parts/services needed that are not available, or in short supply? Is there a part that no one reproduces or reconditions yet, that is in demand?

    Just fishing to see if I can find a new way to make a living.

    Have you ever had any experience in polishing chrome and trim? Or straightening? I would think that could be a low cost start up. But it is a dirty job is what the downfall of it. I don't even know of any shops around near me for that.

    Seems like folks are always looking for early style bumper guards for e-bodys.

    & if your profile is correct....happy birthday.

    Happy birthday.

    I'm losing my job as well, on Friday. Whatever you get into, if you need someone to write instruction sheets, let me know  :thumbsup:

    Something like "440 Source" engine products for SB's.  Maybe it's time for "340 Source"?  Lots of small blocks out there.  Affordable stroker kits and accessories would probably do well.

    Don`t know anything about your skills ( no offence ment). But maybe different classes in your neighbourhood or hometown on
    "how to...." when it comes to a resto of a car. I know I would `ve needed such a class, about all of the variation of Mopar engines for an example.
