And there’s still plenty of snow on the ground up there, but he’s going to have my front end. Alignment done locally also.

I’m hoping sometime this summer I will be going up to pick it up. He’s been very fair with me on pricing and even said he will never do another project like this as he can’t Bill for all the hours he works on them. I feel bad but I’m glad he’s been as good as he’s been.

That is unfortunate but understandable until they have an established name + customer base. Once that's achieved, they can work off a different system.

My buddy sits down w/his customer/s & documents the game plan. He gets a set payment up front & then records work that's done daily until the labor has caught-up to the pre-paid amount. He arranges/schedules work for his customers based on what they can afford monthly. This allows him to remain busy on each projects itemized punch list while spreading the monthly income on shop expenses (materials, payroll, sub-contractors, etc). One customer running low on his account? Shift effort to the other customers. No money to fund continued work @ the beginning of the month? You owe a pre-disclosed storage fee instead & no work is done on the vehicle until the next pre-paid allotment.

I know you're getting antsy for sure waiting for the Summer to get here!
