WGP SUPERNATURAL 1:6 Impalla "Metallicar"

[William Shatners Toupee]

Alright all of you Supernatural knuckle heads, we have a question for you and we are starting a new thread to go with it. Many of you have talked for years about wanting a 1:6 Impalla prop, and we have a few ideas if you guys are interested to keep this reasonably cheap.

What we need to know is your preference and interest level.

We have two ideas here:

1) a back-of-the-car opening trunk dio with working light-up tail lights with secret stash storage compartments.

or

2) 1:6 full Impalla: What if we made an Impalla car frame to go over an existing 1:6 RC car (to give it a base more than to make it an RC) and keep it cheap? We would still make an opening trunk, but then you'd have a nice Impalla prop for your shelves for your ultimate SUPERNATURAL set?

The interior would be whatever the RC car has so won't be accurate, but the intent here is to give you guys something cheap and affordable?

I have no idea on cost but I'd guess less than $150-$175 (not including RC car base)?

Thoughts? Ideas? Interest?

Let us know! Thanks!

PS- This is definitely a 2013 project, FYI.

Definitely in based on that price. Maybe do the interior later as a second project ?

As long as enough people want it, def! :hi5:

I would love this, the only real issues I see are;
The RC base car that you use has to be available for everyone that wants this so the Impalla cover you design will fit right.
Windows on the Impalla, there are a lot of big open window on the car, it might look goofy to see RC parts inside. Or do you plan to darken them?
Like I said before I would this so you can put me down as interested in both, truck dio and full Impalla.

 

[Yodee]

whoa whoa...1/6 impala.......INTERESTED!

 

[woodrob]

Sure i`m in!!!!!!!!

 

[dwing]

The trunk would be cool. I had that idea a few yrs ago to have the boys standing next to the open trunk with all the goodies inside.

 

[dragonsleeper]

grrr you can't do this to me lol...I'll wait and see

 

[kgrhoad]

Sorry to hijack the thread but a BTTF Delorean in 1/6 scale would be really cool...

Thats something we would be willing to consider doing the same way at some point as well. I'm sure there are enough BTTF fans.

I am definitely interested in the full car (shell). Who knows where I could possibly put it, but I'll worry about that when the project is closer to reality. All I know is if the car is true 1/6 it will be huge! The 4-door 67 Impala is not a small car.

 

[knucklefunger]

I'm totally down with the open trunk. Brilliant idea btw!

 

[the vampire with soul]

that sounds Like a very Cool Idea I would love to see that done.

Which, the trunk dio or the full car shell?

 

[Ryu]

I would be interested in the full car shell since it's next year.

 

[beeshaw]

The trunk Dio has my interest peaked...

Coolio. Thanks everyone for letting us know what interests you most! I am keeping a list in the first post! No problem at all doing both, and I'm happy to see there is interest in both.

 

[Gray]

I'm really interested in full car....

 

[steven.giunta]

The trunk sounds awsome

 

[the vampire with soul]

Which, the trunk dio or the full car shell?
