Making a Power Play...Need Everyone's Help

Ok so as many of you know I've been doing the resto thing for about 3 years now mostly at night and on the weekends. Business has been growing and my reputation is in very good standing around the local car community. Unfortunately with the high cost of a house and shop I still haven't been able to make the break from my day job and the steady paycheck.

I'm at the point where it's getting tough to keep up with all the work at night but won't necessarily sustain me full time yet. So.....I've come up with an advertising/business generating idea to try out. I set up an Ebay auction for a restoration job. The auction is for the cost of labor only and parts would be extra. I've priced the job at $50,000 to start which is about 15% off the normal price if you figure roughly 1,000 hours of labor to do a car and a normaly hourly rate of $65/hr.

This is where I need everyone's help. I need to get this auction viewed by as many people as possible in order to possibly make it work. If you guys could spread it around all the car sites that you're a member of it would be greatly appreciated. This could be the final push I need to comfortably break ties with the corporate world and pursue my dream.

Thank you all in advance for any help you can offer. The link to the auction is below:
