If BSD new ramps can be offered with flaps and decals, how much of an interest is there? Just curious on potential numbers. Thanks.

Depends on if the rumored play field takes off too, but I'd still suspect good interest. I'd prolly buy a plug and play set all 3 edit: err both and the flip up ramp entrance that is
Mine doesn't but many seem to have a hole burned at the left ramp entrance. When you are done with these how bout some Dirty Harry ramps? That left one sure takes a beating.
i had a brief discussion with larry at starship and he informed me of ramps being available in possibly 6 months or so. dont know if thats been stated before or not. looks like people have been looking for these for years according to the postings here.
Quoted from PjM:I may have them ready in a couple of weeks. Next week is fit, form and function. If that goes well... ready in two or three weeks. Still would like an quantity idea. You can PM also. Thanks.
How much for all 3 and how much each separately?

I don't even own a BSD, and I'm interested. Looking to add one to my collection....great pin!
I would definitely buy a main ramp at a minimum, but I'd consider all 3.
Put me down for the main big ramp for sure. Especially at $185 with decals.
Count me in.
Added over 5 years ago: I'll take a full set......

PjM, Thanks for offering something the community clearly wants. This thread has peaked my interest. Could you guys elaborate what is wrong with your ramps? My BSD ramps look fine and the few other BSDs I've played in the wild looked fine as well. The main ramp comes with entry and exit protectors. How are your ramps breaking? I'm just genuinely curious.
Also if anyone in the Dallas area needs a main ramp PM me. I have an extra in good condition I got of a BSD which had already been stripped of many parts.
Quoted from oohlou:Could you guys elaborate what is wrong with your ramps?
I can tell you on mine, and what I believe to be a common problem, is that the bulb under the entry to the main ramp was too close to the ramp and melted it some. Otherwise the ramp is fine.
I'm in for a full set.

"Larry" has had the ramp making business for a few years now and to my knowledge hasn't brought anything new to market. This, after BSD ramps were on the "verge of release" when James sold that part of the business to him.
If someone else can make them, I'm all in.
While you are at it, it appears that FT/WH2O topper covers are NLA.

Yep, done waiting when the keys to the kingdom were practically handed to him. If the OP makes it happen, I'll buy the main ramp at an absolute minimum, and will prolly just buy all 3 as BSD is the next game I'll be pulling my PF on for a clearcoat application.
I would buy a full set of BSD ramps.
Full set here. I don't even need them...at all. I support the cause. And you never know when you will need a set for BSD fandom!
The preproduction ramps arrived today! And look outstanding. Few pictures. Hopefully fit , form and function tonight. There are 14 decals, 5 metal parts and 1 flap to a set! This is a lot. I am trying to hold pricing to my "preliminary" numbers but may scope a little but nothing drastic. Decal quotes are coming in higher than expected. Tooling is not cheap either.

Wow, that was fast. Those BSD ramps look very nice.
If the fit and function on these ramps is as nice as they look then you have a definite winner on your hands. Just curious, how did you do this so quickly?
