Any one here either employed in one of these fields or have some experience with the subject? I have several ideas rolling around in my head right now and aside from pencil and paper, don't have much time to put them to digits.

Bottom line is I am looking for someone who can take a concept and put it in to a product that can be delivered to a fabricator or production shop resulting in a product.

PM me...engineers are all I work with and I have connections in metal and electronics fabrication.

If it is requiring foundry work (i.e. castings, ect.) let me know. My pops is both a manufacturing & metallurgical engineer & has contacts all over the country for different types of foundry work. He helped me with a mock up of a product....He might be able to help out a little.

Nothing nearly fancy or elaborate enough to require a foundry, but definitely good stuff to know.

I've been toying with the idea (I seem to be doing a lot of toying with ideas lately) of building a monster Tuffy box. Something that will fit in the back of the Bronco and will extend up to about the lead edge of where the back seat is/should be. I plan to make it shallow enough that if I wanted to install a back seat, I could using the rear wheel well mounted concept I saw in a CB.com thread, and also here IIRC.

I'd like to get everything on paper, sketched and blueprinted out so that if there was an interest, no matter how significant, it could easily be manufactured based off the digital designs.

Then a word of advice, if you do get a drawing done, have it, at the minimum, notarized with date so that you can make sure that nobody steals your idea (ask me about that one sometime) and can make a profit off of it. The manufacturing world is absolutely cut throat and if a company gets wind of what you are doing & they have the funds to do it, you will be out. Your best protection on something like that is to have 2 copies made, both notarized and mail yourself one copy with a signature required. Then don't ever open it unless you have control of the product.
