    ^^^ Spot on! You'll move some product at LARS if you have some dropped axles ready to go, cash & carry. If buyers have cores at home they can drop ship (pun intended) to you for core credit.
    Have business cards and a display with dropped axles and a simple general info board listing features such as hole corrections, straightening, camber (with your photos), etc.
    Manning a booth can be grueling but be prepared to talk shop and politely answer questions. Know that some prospective customer's will chat you up just to catch your vibe to decide if they want to work with you, so be cool and receptive...

    We need reliable, communicative, diligent craftsmen like you in this hobby Leo. Keep doing work exactly like shown and described and you will be booked up for months. I have a 37 axle, so I'm stoked to see that example. Kudos for what you are doing - just do it consistently and take HRTH's advice above. Good stuff.
