Best wishes! Great to have a metal shop to keep/get our precious ones on the road. Such shops willing to work on 914s are few and far between around here.

I’m 100% pleased with the work that Jared is doing on my 912. He has all the needed skills and is a very easy guy to work with.
I’m almost sorry he made this announcement since now he’ll probably have a 4 year waiting list for my next project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Jared- My 2 cents… I applaud you for taking the plunge into your new venture. You will not regret your decision. Keep in mind, every obstacle will present an opportunity. Appreciative customers are golden. Your metal skills and passion are needed in our community. I have a tiny guest house for you should you ever visit SoCal. Great place to honeymoon…wink, wink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) BTW, just ordered a tee shirt...thx Oscar |

QUOTE(jaredmcginness @ Mar 10 2022, 06:57 PM)  QUOTE(tygaboy @ Mar 10 2022, 08:30 PM) Jared - Way to go! Chase that dream and make it come true. The webs site looks good - and I agree w/ @AZBanks about making it look as professional AND honest as we know you are. And my $0.02 on shop rate. Don't under price your skills. I don't know what you're planning but you mention a building backlog of work. Once of my favorite sayings is: "If they're standing in line, you're not charging enough." I don't mean go crazy, I mean that people who want high quality work will happily pay for high quality work. You offer that. Charge accordingly. I'll wish you best of luck with your new endeavor but suspect you'll be making all the luck you'll need! Now get out there and kick some ass, my friend! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I wont tell @mepstein that quote, or he'll be picking up his things tomorrow! But good info, and I have battled back and forth with that. I see guys on pelican that do beautiful work and say stuff like "I am always $50/hr for Pelican members, all day". Then you have "real" shops backed up for months @ $170/hr+. Quite a variance. QUOTE(r_towle @ Mar 10 2022, 08:40 PM) Looking fir a project? Are you also doing paint after all the metalwork? Rich You can have as many projects as you already have +1. As of now, I am not doing paint. Another hurtle to tackle. I should probably should look for a guy locally, familiar with these cars that I can recommend to take the reigns on that step. You've already got Mark as a customer...that speaks for itself! Hmmm...maybe next trip out I'll fly into BWI and see what you've got shakin! |
