carrier owners unite
 

ok this is getting silly, i know about 7-8 people who need the upper armor for there carriers. i know someone has taken the time and forked out the $$$$ to have a set placed on CAD to make a copy. with the cost of fuel and postage rising there is no way most of us could sell entire armor sections to others on this forum. so the question is how does a guy get the armor he needs? the answer is this. someone needs to get the CAD data and offer it here for others to make copies from. if that has already ben done than people will get it so they can go down to there local metal shop and BAM they have there armor.
here is a chance for a carrier owner to recope there CAD costs and be a asset to the carrier comunity.

thanks, its just a idea.

Dave, I believe that Rob Groves here in Barrie, ON was doing repro armour from CAD drawings he had made.
I think he has got away from the idea of doing the repro armour due to the costs and logistics of supplying it.
I think he goes by cmp_uc_guy here on this forum. Rob, are you out there? An opportunity to re-coup your CAD costs...

i understand about the artwork involved and the time you have put into this. the thing is there are just so many carrier restorers out there and lets face it the cost to ship even the smallest armor part to the US would be too much to make it worth wile. i am running into this problem with my M3A1 scout car ($400.00 for a pice of 4 x 2 armor with 6 holes + 200.00 shipping). what you could do is

A. release the CAD at one time to everyone intrested at a good price and you should make some good money.

B. request that the person purchasing the CAD sign a letter of understanding that the info is protected and not to be reproduced.

i understand that you have a right to protect your info and artwork. but as i produce items for my carriers refit i will be releasing the cad software to anyone who wants it for just the cost of the artwork. right now i am not about making loads of money, but i am about breaking even and helping other carrier owners out and preserving history.

thanks
