Answer 1

So I am going to say this up front – I don’t know much about cars.

That said, my Father-in-law is retired and has his own business where he rebuilds things for old cars that you can’t find anymore….and he makes bank. People send him the broken parts and he fixes it up, sometimes creating his own parts to fix the broken part.

One of those hobbies he turned in to $$$ and now makes tons off of it. So I’m not 100% sure how to answer your question other than I’m sure there are many others like my Father-in-law that do stuff like that.
