    I've seen and used a lot of body shop software, and flat rate software. Don't recall seeing anything designed for the custom and hot rod business......

    Software

     



    Depending on what you want to accomplish, how about just starting with a generic spreadsheet program and add to it as your needs grow?

    You can also do a Google search on freeware/shareware programs. There's a good chance you'll find someone else has written something similar to what you need. Due to lack of marketing skills, ambition, etc, it never made a commercial splash, and now it's free or asks a $25.00 registration fee.

    Cheers, Mark
