Here is the 2008 package for the Greenlight version of the Stupid Squirrel's Customs BARN FINDS. Though this is not really a retailed product, I wanted to create a package design that would make you think so.

So here is what he will use for this year for his GL custom projects. I am working on a package for the JL's with the same theme. But the Squirrel has never seen these, so here is his first glimpse! They mail out tomorrow John. :thumbsup:

Though these are in a production run, I have corrected the last line on the back where it no longer runs into the black, and have added a car number square on the back.

Here are the other cars from his first batch he sent to have packaged. Fear not, I will not make you see EVERY car we do together, but this first batch just seemed special, and he has not seen them at all yet!!

Thanks.
The Bees, as well as all the rest of the cars pictured, already have owners.

We'll hopefully have some available within a few weeks.
Thanks for your interest.

ok ok where can i line up to purchase this awesome line of products.

A run of twenty cars was recently sent from Portales NM to Chatanooga TN.

I hit a major production snag (health issues) and they only recently became ready to paackage.
Ward now has them & as his schedule permits will have them ready in the next few weeks.
19 of 20 are available as one has been tentatively spoken for.

Believe me, we will be making some noise when they're ready.

The final price will be $20 + actual shipping cost from Chatanooga TN.

Thanks for your interest.

Alright, the cat is running round' the house so I will give another peak into the upcoming Barn Find series. This will be a very special limited production run of only 100 pieces ever!

Not only is the production limited to 100 overall Greenlight "Barn Finds", but keep in mind that every single car is a true "one of one" custom creation. Remember, the Squirrel makes every car by hand and no two are alike. So what this will be is really a collection of 100 unique customs grouped together by the common thread of brand and packaging.

Each blister will be numbered, and when the 100 are gone, the package art and series name will be done. The Squirrel will then introduce his next limited series (sorry, I do not know what name or brand he plans next). Keep in mind, this does not represent any limits on John's Stupid Squirrel Customs, he will customize any brand at any time for any customer. This is only in reference to this very limited packaged run of Greenlight castings under the Barn Finds series name.

The first wave of 25 will be available in the early fall. Here are a few pics of real cars from that first upcoming offering.....

Speaking for the Squirrel, thank you for your interest guys, but this is not going to be a "set" style offering.

These 100 cars will be offered at $19.95 each plus true shipping (I think like 6 to 8 can go in a $9 flat rate box).

But there is no real set. There will be a link where you can see every car offered in the set and select the actual car you want to purchase from photos.

More info in a few weeks! Keep watching and thanks again.

Look how old this thread is, almost a 9 months ago, and we will only be starting with 25 of the total 100 cars. This will take a while!!:p

You should do 1/24 cars. The factory packaging is resealable.
