not like some #### trying to make a quick buck from his shed.i wonder if the tax man knows what hes doing.

But this forum has had lots of people working out of their sheds - Apaches sticker business is well known, as is Vinces Panhard drop brackets and v8 swaps, Stormys breaker business etc etc.

I'm a supporter of cottage industries over the 'big boys' thank you very much.

I'd rather pay Apache £2 for a sticker than a high street print shop £6, and Vince for the lexus swap over giving LA Supertrux 3 or 4 times as much.

Also all this 2 hours to make 1 kit is rubbish. I work in manufacturing and know that once you've set up to make 1 thing it's just as easy to run another 100 or whatever. Economies of scale and all that.


EDIT: Apologies to Bushwhacker, Apache and Stormforce if they are fully registered 'legit' businesses..... I just assumed they're 'hobbies'

i would also just like to add that i have put myself out quite a few times to help the guys out on this site.before the business got going.just in case you thought i was being an A hole. so i do have a lot of respect for the people on this site. ( well most of the time anyway).

and you will still put yourself out to help people on this site.Even though people wanted parts like the lc spring seats and never bothered to buy them once made.Your just the sort of guy that will help anyone anytime Mark as i well know from the help you and TLB did on my truck

I beg to differ re the time to make a bodylift kit.

I wouldn't mind betting that the guy whos selling on eBay is 'small volume, made in the shed' type chap. On the kind of equipment he's got, you cant 'set up' for that job. Its probably a manual job with no powered feeds, no CNC etc, so I bet each kit does take at least 2 hours to make.

If he outsourced, and bought ready machined blocks in, and just put components in a box, it would cost more as he'd be pasying for the manufacturers cut. Honestly, £45 isn't very much more than materials cost.

As for the stickers, I make 'beer money' amounts because its not worth me buying vinyl in bulk. I started doing it cos 3 years ago lots of people wanted 'handle' stickers for their trucks and it was actually costing me to get the designs I was producing cut at my local sign business, so I bought a machine. Now I do just do it for the fun of it - though trade is slow these days.
