I put acdc up there with Tron as one of the machines I always wanted to do ramps and wireforms for. So, I grabbed the acdc pro, (would love to get a lucy) that came up for sale this week and this is just going to be artistically awesome for me. Love Bon Scott and Angus. They just hit me as a kid in the seventies. Been looking for a while. I post all the ramps I make and will update as this goes. I have other work to start, but I see the design in my head and I have to build it when that happens. Killing another expensive sheet of stainless!

Timestamping ramps.
I might add another ramp not sure yet? But, the bell shot can be turned into a ramp easily.

Not sure if I am clipping the circle rings as I can add to it. 81/2 hours and the ramps are 90% completed. Wireforms will be much quicker.

What are you thinking for a bell ramp?

Very interested to see this!

Quoted from Stebel:

Depends on if the look of a wireformed guitar works visually. If it does the bell will be moved a little and the new ramp will be a amplifier cord to guitar rail.

Just remember if you do these for the Prem/LE too, there’s the cross ramp to consider which could present clearance issues with your amp cord ramp. Also will need to modify the left ramp for the diverter. Just a friendly heads up since you’re working with a Pro model.

And of course what I just said also assumes you’ll bypass the swinging bell feature and scoop behind… which are basically unused in the newest code.

This is just for the pro and most likely going to cost too much to sell as a mod. We will see. Thanks, the only way I be able to do a premium is to have that machine. Just making plain rails and steel ramps make such a visual difference and that would be a viable mod.

Starting on guitar..

Yes and thats 29 slices! Bs labeling!

I might come back to guitar idea, but its not looking right to me. Only way to know is to build it. Regular rails it is….

Minor tweaks left for tomorrow on ramps. Deciding on rings. Working on playtest video.. METAL ACDC!

That looks good!

#16 68 days ago

Looks great & fantastic result.

#17 68 days ago

Damn impressive fab and metalwork!

#18 67 days ago

All I can say is WOW... Just think in 15/20 years from now after you sell this game the buyer will be scratching his head and saying "this must be a rare prototype or something".

#19 63 days ago

Very cool!

Thanks for the comments. This is my all time favorite Ritchie game. It plays so great. Really late to getting one, only way this game leaves is if I get a Lucy.

I relocated the led bolt flashers mid ramp and angled away from player. They were too bright and blinding. I like the bolts angled as shown.
