I make a line of specialty parts and I charge well for them. My interest began, and is, because I have and like the body styles and no one else was making the parts. I truly make them to promote those body styles….but no intention of losing money just to help others
with a restoration.
There are NO Mother Theresa’s in this hobby!! IMHO
The success of any aftermarket part
or service depends - in part - upon
real world personal interaction both
with potential and current customers.

No one should be expecting Mother Theresa
at a swap meet - just like no one should
expect a good or service to be provided
at or below cost.

Because I observe and report what I see
when I attend swap meets - my attention
is focused on human interaction.
