ever consider selling out and saying F it?

[Lets Roll]

I've owned a couple businesses over the years got rid of all of it and here I am now working for a company 4-10's a week. I've seen both sides and they both have their perks. I can say one thing I've never worked harder than when I ran my own business. Its probably the easy way out working for someone else but a steady check and decent insurance I'm good. People are so unreliable now you pretty much just have to show up on time everyday and supervisors are happy.

I will retire before going back to being a employee and do volunteer work.
Anything around here requires a minimum BA to make anything above minimum wage due to depressed economy and over stock of educated gene pool.

when I was a kid I realized I had a talent for this stuff........ and thought, what could be cooler than building hot rods for a living? ......... boy, was I a dumb ****!

You're killing your own dream by the way you're running it. Estimate extremely high, put it in writing with the word Estimate clearly printed across the top, take 50% down, order all of parts with it clearly stated that another 40% is due when the parts show up. Then you have 90% before you're deep into it. You can then adjust from there. If they don't pay the second pay, or the final pay, use my dad's tagline..... you can buy your **** back off ebay!
