Marauder Die Cast cars

[Billatpro]

Logan has given me permission to start this thread, Iam reposting my last reply from the thread "What Santa forgot on his sleigh"

OK OK, It's a little to soon to start taking anyones money just yet. I might be treading on thin ice here due to the no selling rules but I will take a chance and lay this out for you. Please understand that this project hinges on tooling availability and making the required changes to it to make it a Marauder. If the tooling is available it will take at least 16 to 20 weeks from art approvals to get product. If the tooling does not exsist then it is a matter of how many can made and sold to justfy the cost of the tooling. Two of the 9 manufactures have already replied "No Tooling" but the best ones have yet to answer. I'm thinking of adding (if the project is a go) a Jacket! and no you won't be able to wear it. Will post progress as I go.

All who are interested please reply to billatpro@aol.com

I have no pricing at this time but my experience with these programs tells me the price would be around $60.00 depending on the total production run. I would like to do 2500 pieces. any questions "fire away"

Thanks

Bill:

Just sent you mail so count me in.

[Mike M]

Yes Yes Yes

[Logan]

Me too obviously. :)

[Billatpro]

Well, I guess I assumed you too' after all how would it look if our leader were left out? One question for all!

Although it might well mean a long delay on the project, should I hold up until new paint colors are finalized and do a mixed production of colors?

[MAD-3R]

No, just Black. Keep cost down, and this car looks best in black.

[SergntMac]

To me, a Marauder comes one way, and it "leaves" better.

Like Richard Pryor's poem...Black.

[Cooper]

Bill, what SCALE diecast are we talking here? 1:18, 1:24? I assume for $60.00 we'd be getting something bigger than a 1:43, right? I'd be very interested as long as it's black! :cool:

[JohnnyB]

What about a 1/4 scale, radio controlled gas powered MM.........

[LincMercLover]

JohnnyB,

Still never grew away from your Power Wheels did you? :D

[Bigdogjim]

Bill: Henry Ford said it best."any color you want as long as its BLACK"
Big Dog

[JamesHecker]

Wow! I would definatly be up for one! And make it black! :D

[Billatpro]

Hey, I'm with you guts, Like I said else where, this car live's to be BLACK, but I don't want to slight anyone.

JonnyB....... I want some of what your smokin!

Stealth vic...... that's a way cool Vic, mabye I'll pick one up for ****s and grins and stuff a built 351 C in it!!!

Oh and we would be talkin 1/18th scale on die cast.

So far I got names for about 18 cars, only 2482 more to go and I can get 2 or 3 company's to build a new tool from scratch for us in a heart beat.

[LincMercLover]

Did you get me down? I haven't expressed it on this thread yet...

[Billatpro]

I do now but send me an email anyway, it's easyer to track of. also I need pics from several angles in jpeg or tiff or ADOBI format to send to manufacturers.

Thanks

Bill:

I know I sent you the email yesterday, but your asking for color choice now. "BLACK!" Need I say more?

[cyclone03]

I want one to.
Black only!
Please DO Not highlight "Marauder" on the back bumper cover.
Sorry guys that does nothing for me.

Cyclone.......that's Okay! Everyone has there own taste in what they like and dislike doing to the car!

[Racerx88]

I'll probably take 2! Count me in.

[KSMM03]

Bill,

Sent you about 24 pics from various angles to include trunk, front and back seats, and engine compartment. Didn't send you any under body shots, cuz I don't have a lift...

If you need some other shots that I didn't include, let me know and I'll take them.

If I might make a suggestion, if they can tint the windows, I think that would look spiffy, thats how the car SHOULD have come but, silly them.

A thought if I might, if the good folks are reading, why not ask Dennis, the Kenny Brown folks and Sean Hyland if they're interested in obtaining a few. Might do something for business....

Chris:D

[Billatpro]

Thanks guy's for all the pic's, got all I need for now.

Tinted widows, hell yes. and no if any one wants highlited "Marauder" they can paint them in them selves. I might have to try and do a deal with LM to put them in dealers show room! Will check with Ford licensing to see if they are interested.

[Andrew10AE]

I'm in... especially if the mini jacket comes with it :)

[KSMM03]

yeah, but wouldn't it be a bit tight in the shoulders??<G>

how about a mini plate that says "Mafia Staff Car" on it...<G>

[Billatpro]

I thought the mini jacket would be cool, I could do a 1/18th scale "ME" wearing it to show the embossing of MARAUDER I'm getting done on my real jacket!

Mafia Staff Car? now your spacing out!

[drobin]

Please count me in for one.....

Thanks,
Donald

[gonzo50]

I'd like a mini Marauder to go with my big Marauder too. Count me in for one. My e-mail is listed if needed. Thanks.

[Billatpro]

Please reply to my email if you have not already done so, it is the only way I can keep track of who wants cars. billatpro@aol.com
