Tubing the gallery with a twist

Keep in mind I'm not quoting in USD either. My prices may seem high but year end I barely make enough that I am considering employment in another field. This trade is best kept as a hobby. J.Rob



Exactly. It's damn hard to make money doing this **** and very easy to lose money doing it.

What gets posted on this site is about 1% of what goes wrong doing this for a living. Most of the junk doesn't fit, has to be modified and the manufacture says you are the only one who has ever had that issue.


It just goes on and on and on. When I bought my first car in 1980 I was stunned by the junk that didn't fit. Here we are 37 years later and it's still the same.

It's hard to explain why a CNC port is garbage even though the manufacturer says it's perfect, don't touch it. They lie. It's hard to explain why you have to dent headers, and the manufacturer blames the car maker. More lies. Can't tell you how many cars I have strung and an 1/8 inch is the most I have seen a car be off that wasn't smashed in a crash. Tires that don't roll out the same. Wheels that ain't straight. Springs that are nowhere near the rate they should be (both engine and chassis springs). It's rediculous.
