Default Work? (Interest gauge???)

I have had a few people contact me to do some welding work, and I have been turning them down. But if the interest is really there, I may bite the bullet. I am really tentative to even post this, but I sure could use some $$$ with the baby coming soon.

Let me know if building a Upper Intake Plenum, a Turbo Manifold, Valve Covers.. and maybe a few other things if. But I have had more interest in Turbo Manifolds/headers.

However, I would need a few people to actually commit to it and then I will build a few proto-types.. and of coarse post pics and etc.. etc.. Most items will be made out of mild steel or stainless. Obviously, stainless items will cost more. Prices to be determined according to demand and metals used.

Id say take whatever comes your way you can do, and focus on parts alot of people can use. I dont see you getting anywhere having nothing to show, and saying the line forms here fellas. If its something you enjoy it will be worth it in the end.

Smoke, you know how we did it w/the Focii stuff man... Get a single car to complete a turbo kit for... Mock everything up, make jigs, make templates, etc - all that is necessary to be able to later build the entire kit w/o the car being PHYSICALLY in your possession. Give your "test mule" a discount for allowing you to use the ride to develop the kit. Then build several kits and get orders for them based on your test mule's finished product.

We could start with a particular white Fox coupe I know
