i am currently aiding in running a body shop.....we are in the process of opening up into a full peformance and body shop....I agree that parts selling is very hard....since the majority of the customers tend to buy used parts of boot legger....however...anything that is labor extensive tend to bring in more income...and mechanics are easier to recruit as employees ....and body man are very hard to come around....i myself am looking for a good bodyman too...well goodluck on ur future business....
