Ok, the title sounds a bit more than what I'm thinking. I'm going to test the waters with fabricating small items to sell online. (ebay mostly)
If anything actually sells, it will encourage me to go on. If not, oh well.
First up are these pair of polished aluminum diamond plate door panels I made up today that fit 76-86 CJ-7 and 87-95 YJ Wrangler with full doors. Not sure how popular diamond plate is these days but I suppose someone might like them. Research shows they aren't cheap! The highest I found at $188.07 plus ship, next lower at $148.99 plus $30 to ship! (no way it should be that much to ship!) The cheapest is someone selling for $109 and free shipping (price is for a limited time) I found none on ebay at the moment.
I was thinking maybe $99 plus shipping but still thinking about it. BTW, last pic I found on the net of how these look installed on a Jeep.
A smaller item is this 3 hole under dash gauge panel. Searching shows not many of this style around and sell about $15 for a 3 hole and $10 for a 2 hole. I wonder if anyone would want a 4 holer?
My main plan is going to be small things for the garage/workshop like grinder racks, air tool racks, hammer racks, screwdriver racks, peg board items, paper towel holders, etc. Other items might be hard to find odd little brackets and things for cars/trucks. (odd ball things like inner door handle rods)
Am I crazy? Not sure. The old car parts business is drying up and it's getting so hard to find anything to sell around here. Not many cars coming into the junkyards for a long while now. So I'm looking for a new gig.
