    Business has started to pick up for me. I've only been doing it for about 2 years and it slowed WAY down for a while. I've got some offers to go in on a production run of fibergl*** bodies and panels, as well as frames and suspension components. We still have to get a general outlay together and a time line figured out, but I'm all for it.

    Business has been steady, with no big backlogs. In the old days we would be pushing a 12/14 week lead time on ch***is, now it's 6/7. Just a sign of the times. I only sell what I manufacture and that limits you to a degree. I have quit doing turnkeys but still do several package cars a year. I don't think there are as many projects starting as there were several years ago. Trans kits are steady and as usual we are building a car to sell. I have talked to several of my friends in the business and they are about the same. After 30 years in the business I have seen several business cycles but this one may take a little longer to shake out.
