Conversion primarily for Police enthusiasts

[Repstock]

I'm converting the Supernatural Impala to a 4-door sedan. I'm leaving the side trim, as it is easier to remove than add. This body is more suitable for police use. I have a deal with a caster, I just need to finish this and raise the money for the initial run. If interested, stay tuned.

Uuh. Unless you’re planning on leaving the trunk lid off... I think you’re in the wrong section. Not that I don’t appreciate the traffic here. LOL!?

My error, I guess a moderator will have to move it(?)

Done.

Very interested. Will you be correcting the front seat, too?

No just the body, It's all I can afford just to have the body cast.

Tom,

The caster is charging you to cast the body?? 

Most good casters are happy to cast a finely mastered body - with necessary widgets and gadgets like bumpers,  grilles, seats, interiors, dashboards where necessary, etc. - supplying you an agreed-upon number of the product and reserving your authorization (read that "license") to sell them to the public.

I've thought about getting what I've done before copied, I didn't know where to start.

We discussed different options. In the past, I've always gotten a few examples from the caster, and whatever they made after that was theirs. This caster preferred to offer me an entire run, and then I make my money back by selling them. I know of a very large caster that will also sell entire runs, return your master, and have no further stake in it. I'm OK with either system.

Gotcha.  Well, good luck with it - no matter which way you end up going.  Looks like a great product.

I'll definitely be in on this offering...thank you for the work you're doing Tom.

Bumper(s), too, or just the body shell?

Just the body shell.

I'm game. Any feel for how much you'll be looking for for one of these? I see a Capri Cream 250/PG Grampy car coming from this.

Master is complete and smoothed out. I'm most of the way to raising money for the casting. I went ahead and removed the Impala trim, she's bare-bones now.

Looks great!

[charlie8575]

Very nice. Any feel for roughly how much these'll be running?

Indeed - that looks really nice.  Good to see the side trim come off in particular...

Looks like trouble. I was going to pay the caster with my Paypal funds, but I'm locked out of my account because I don't have a cell phone. Pretty sure I'm not going to be coerced into purchasing one just to please them.

How utterly ridiculous. I would try calling them directly, or sending an e-Mail. I'm sure something can be done. When I'm asked for a phone number, I just use my home phone unless it's absolutely necessary to use my mobile phone.

Worst case, there's always the option of a money order, certified, or bank cheque, and 2-day mail for a tracking number.

 More likely they want to track your activities to aim advertisements toward you (and your phone).

 

From Rachael, the Paypal moderator:

Thanks for posting in relation to this issue.

Unfortunately it is not currently possible to use PayPal without a mobile phone number attached to your account. This does not need to be a smartphone, a basic mobile will do. We use mobile verification as a means of confirming your identity when you are accessing your account.
