When i first started messing with upgrading the 3203, the wheels began turning about resto-modding backyard karts and buggies for resale as a winter side biz since my biz is mostly seasonal. After repeatedly rebuilding the rockhound i realized there'd be no money in it to cover the labor. Materials expense to clean old used metal and repaint it eats up what you could gain for some of your labor. This project really proved the point to me, but since i had all the elements sitting right there and had the time I did itsince i knew i'd need the money. original cost of all the parts a few years ago plus hardware, materials and electricity is not too far off what i'm asking. what little over that is left = about $1-2 per hour labor return. I make more money per hour crushing soda cans.
