Hi guys, a bloke here in Oz is building new command car bodies for WC51 - WC52 weapons carriers. His first production run is almost finished and he will then look at exports. Here's a copy of my reply from Simon.
His email is bscallen@bigpond.com
I have thought about the possibility of exporting to the USA but haven't followed it up as haven't been sure of exactly how long and how much these bodies are going to cost and do not want to commit myself to an unprofitable venture.
I am about two weeks off completing first production run of these bodies, all pre-sold here in Australia. As soon as these are done I will be able to set a firm price and will then be able to do a bit of marketing here and overseas. I intend to build the bodies in batches of three (3) with each body taking approximately 1 month. The idea is to basically supply a complete kit so that anyone with a weapons carrier, chassis and cowl can have a command car and need only to source a few pieces from other suppliers.
I have thought shipping bodies disassembled but having had a measure up there really are no savings on space to be made although, several bodies could be shipped in one container. Also I want to keep the concept simple enough for most people to be able to take on. I will send some photos and if you wish to send on please do so.
