This all depends on your ability to find cheap projects to start with and the ways to have your own junkyard or parts supply.

I know the projects that they have built to try to make money on ended up selling for a loss while taking up shop hours that could have been billed out!
It is a special person that has the mechanical talents so keep working on them. You can make money if you watch every penny spent.
