Right. How is he with bodies/paint? These cars require lots of hours to prep the bodies for paint, not a straight edge on the car. Get a seam wrong and it will show up in the final product....wavy. More hours=less profit.

Everything you outsource besides the mechanical work that your bro does, cuts into your profit. Unless you can do it all yourself, its near impossible to profit. Good companies clear a few grand on each completed car.
