Maybe he could do general repairs and stuff also, to help keep the business going, until he had the clientel to support an all performance shop. The economy is starting to turn, but we still have 6 months to a year to deal with this stuff, and I am afraid it will never go back to the way it was a few years back. Sometimes you just have to do it, no balls no blue chips!

yes, you are thinking of the right person.
i agree the economy sucks right now, but i personally think there is still a need. i feel like a man could make a living and if he was smart about how he ran his business, it could turn into something more later. He could, and would, do general repairs when starting up- i just think you have to be careful that you don't end up with the reputation of a "general automotive repair" business when you ultimately want to deal exclusively in the performance side of automotive.
Is it just me, or does everyone else feel like there is a need for it in this area?
If you wanted to get all new suspension put on your car, have the car scaled out, and a nitrous system installed and then go to the track with the guy to make sure it all works.........who do you go to around here?
Or you blow a head gasket on your hotrod and you can't fix it yourself?
Or you want to swap motors in your car? Or just want some exhaust put on? Or you just built a new car yourself but need someone to wire it? The list goes on and on.
