I don't think I could make a ton of money without a dealer's license, just doing private sales (a few a year?) but if you chose your projects well (buy low!), you can make an extra 20k while driving some fun cars and having a good time researching projects, hanging out with other car guys etc.

NFW would I do anything close to a "service" business, including signs ...

That is great if you love working on cars (for me working on cars is like doing plumbing, I hate it but I do it to save money). Add to that I hate buying and selling cars, my dad loved it but he was a salesman and I most certainly am not. When I wanted a car I would pick out a make and model of car I liked, gave dad the info, wrote him a check for what I wanted to pay... he would show up in a week with a car.
