Would there be any interest in replacement ramps that were converted to wireforms that were either a 360 loop or a corkscrew type design? I am looking for another project to take on shortly. If so please let me know. I am open to trying anything if theres interest. You can see all the wireforms I have made on pinside or loganpinball.com. I think its very doable.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Quoted from Ballderdash:

The plastics are just so smooth... that, plus their color really lends to the “track” look and feel.

Now that VUK however... that should really be a loop.

The vuk is very doable.

Quoted from Ballderdash:

I love the lighting effect you added to your Tron wireforms. That same orange and blue would look sweet under the existing plastics or with your wireforms. What light product did you use for that? Thanks![quoted image]

Outdoor led colored lighting on Amazon. They are 3/4” tall which might be hard to implement on plastic ramps. I welded a channel on tron and the lights were right under the ball path so it did not take up too much space. The tron mod was over $1000 when completed (labor and 22 feet of wireform) Never went any further then my machine. It got alot of attention at pinfest, but too expensive.

I see what I would like to try in my head. Left ramp corkscrew, vuk corkscrew around left one then a drag race switching flag at the end of the 2 rails that meet at ball drop. Painted or powder coated to that color. Painted would be the framework, powder coat would be whole wireform. This is where price would start to creep up. There is a wall at anything over $400. I still would have to do something on the right side. This seems to be aimed at the wall….. I am still debating on trying this mod as it would be at that lost interest wall. I think my son would like it anyway so looking now.
If I do buy it I will post it. And the first thing going is the head box. I will convert it to a standard with hot wheel airbrushed graphics.

Here is a very basic drawing.
