......I would do trailer and truck conversions all year long if I wasn't moving and rebuilding houses.....there are so many people out there that want what they want and know what they want that It would be simple...."build what the customer wants".....but manufactures get cookie-cutteritis and there goes the uniqueness.....though, I think that guy that is an architect in NM has the right idea....."form follows function" the financial outlay isn't much just a shop that is 30'X60' with A/C and Heat....good lighting and a high school wood shop tool setup and some bending and folding for sheet aluminum-welding for steel....really not much if you think about it....mostly hand air tools and the ability to measure correctly....which is a problem these days with happy workers......geofkaye
