Depends on your access to technology and tools. The go to method is laser or waterjet. I personally use a waterjet (cause I have one and sell them lol) since they allow me limitless possibilities to create any shape. There are Many WJ shops in the Cleveland area. Below is a Batman custom mount I now offer done on a waterjet as an example.

Yes that's the same mount that will be in my machine soon. I was referring to the Cat plastic on the left ramp that MK6PIN shortened. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Put me down on the list please

Whew...long day of kids soccer...here's my first stab at the list of who is interested in the wireform/ ramp mod. No particular order, and of course, nothing committing you to buy this ( I don't even know what he'll be charging). Please PM me if I accidentally missed you, or you want to be added ( I know there are several I missed).

I'll pass on to Matt in a couple of weeks or so , and he can start sorting:

I've already added 4 more blatant oversights on my part to the list....sorry. That's why I'm posting it.

Reminder- Matt won't be doing the plastics ( right side unchanged, just color options, left side definitely shorter, and color options). I've reached out to a couple of Pinside modders to see if they're interested, as my hope is they can be sourced and purchased separately from a single provider. Will let you know what I find out.

You have two choices on how to proceed w plastics:

Easy way- leave the right alone and just cut the left yourself ( like my pic) and you're good.

Harder way- replace both plastics with colored versions. Right plastic identical in size, left will be the custom size. You will need to drill out rivets from the Cat brackets from original, and re-rivet to each of the new plastics. Not a biggie if you have the tool.

I'll make sure to add pics when I put the final assembly in my machine. This is really not that hard ( I'm sure it sounds harder than it actually is...pics will help).

No worries....the Cat assembly attaches to a bracket w 2 screws. The bracket is riveted to the plastic. Easiest to take the Cat led assembly off, then drill out the rivets. Reverse process when installing new plastics.

I cut all my plastics with a jig saw for my from scratch custom games. It’s quick clean and cheap

Too funny Matt....we have ESP!!...literally just logged on and saw this post. I'm going to cut mine this way, using color swatches I got from eplastics. The one I cut for the demo form was done this way, and looks fine. I'll probably play w a few until the colors get sorted.

Checked w Matt today....a bit longer until he can get the ramps started.....Im sure he'll be posting soon....

Thanks for the update!

I'm a little late to the party on this ... is there a pre-order thread?

Just PM me and Ill add you to the list...

I'm on the list, right?

I would like to raise my hand but I was curious if you established even a Rough cost to purchase complete painted? Interested but I hate to be that guy that does an "Ooo me" and then backs out on the guy busting his but to make them but failed to ask the price. Interested. They look great! Thanks

Yep.....

Matt will be building, selling them, and hasn't shared any pricing yet. It will be a completely new ramp/ wireform to replace the existing one, so I have no idea. The proto is still playing flawlessly, btw. Just a nice, solid, great flowing ramp/ form. I've tried everything I know to get the ball to jump the rail, or even shake...hasn't happened once.

Remember, the list is simply for people interested, so he can gauge production. He has stated they will be available in multiple colors, and does not desire to use any type of "prepay" format.

Suspect once his schedule opens up (shortly) to make these, he will provide all info, and turnaround will be pretty quick.

He's shared some of the other projects he's involved with in PB land....man, did we find the right guy!!!!....mark

Great work,MK6pin,I'd like to be included also please!!!Yelobird has some great mods as well!!!

you got it....!!!

Put me down for one please

I am just about done figuring out the price of the wireform replacements.
The final forms will be seamless meaning that obvious connection point on the stock form will be gone.
I will allow the color to be picked by buyer of powder coat colors. If you want more glittery ramps then a clear powder with small flake can be added.
Switch will be included with proper length leads to same connector type so no alligator clips or any typical mod hook ups will be used.
Price will be 200 per form not including shipping. Hope this isn’t too much for you guys but it’s the best I can do in terms of labor and materials

I had you down already......

can I join the list please.

Yep...

Sounds great and in the price range I was expecting, so even better!

MK6pin PM'd you. I see price now, just had a couple questions

Can you match the red color on the LE?

Sorry man...just saw it....sent the list to Matt yesterday....I’ll pm your question responses...

When is the last day to order?

Yes I can. With more sparkle

I guess when I get tired of making them.

I didn’t see any questions. Was it in with the list. You can ask here. I don’t mind

Put me on list for 2 of them. LE and SLE

Thanks!

Count me in for the red.

Will the ramp be included in the $200 price? Or is that an additional charge or something that will be sold separately? Thanks!

Have any of you guys thought about what (if anything) you're going to do with the right wire form? Leave it chrome or have it finished in a complementary color?

I am interested, please add me to the list

Great question. Matt is deciding that now (contacted me last night. I'm sure it's not included in the price, and he might offer separately is my thought.) I'm sure he'll jump in w clarity.

I'm definitely getting one without the wiretie hole....

I'm doing purple sparkle for mine

I will definitely want to get a right wireform in "Batgirl" purple sparkle as MK6PIN has suggested.

Matt found some great color choices for mine (both the red and purple)...I'm sure he will clarify. The right ramp is not being redone, except for powder, btw...plays fine.

I'm going to change the plastic above the scoop (identical in shape, just light blue) and create a mini plastic (red) for the new left ramp (just for looks, not function). It's going to have that cool slope form Matt added to the wireform.....should be a subtle but badass little mod...

Too funny!!!!

Great work. This is the kind of thing this community does that makes it so unique.

Please also add me to the list to order. Have the details been communicated on how to order and if there's a color choice? I'd be interested in what works for the LE model. thanks Lance

No on how to order. Yes on color choice.

I was looking into wire bending machines and I found the machine spooky uses

I know Matt is slammed at work still, but trust me, I’m as anxious as everyone to get this final, powdered beauty in the machine.....with all the other cool mods coming out, a beautiful, functional wireform is really going to finish this thing up, from a gameplay standpoint ( as we wait for code, of course)....

Is he offering any prismatic color or a specific list? I’m interested in a blue with grey or silver flake and a red with gold flake to get the Batman and robin thing going.

Believe he is open to anything prismatic powders offers, but will let him chime in.....
