    Prototype drawing

    While meeting with Jerry a few weeks ago, I saw a prototype drawing he had and asked if I could have one. The more I look at it, the more I look forward to the availability of the ground effects kit. I had to share this great drawing, I love the front airdam, chopped door handles, and the lowered appearance with what looks to be 19" wheels.

    What I found most intriguing was the color the artist chose for the car...I like that color...alot. (Kind of a Sunday-go-to-meetin' color)

    Good job Jerry...and BTW, I hope this pic wasn't classified

    I believe it is the one from the SEMA show. As for buying them,.. they should be available soon.

    The scoop!

    This is the final prototype concept drawing for the SEMA Trilogy car. It is exactly what we saw in Vegas at the SEMA show. And it wasn't designed for Ford, Jerry created it exclusively for his second Trilogy show car for the SEMA show, and originally had NO plans to market it as a ground effects kit. So there is next to none chance of seeing it on a production car from the factory. I also have good information that the 2005 factory supercharged Marauder just isn't going to happen, pure and simple. The effects kit does look good, pictures dont do it justice, you need to see it up close and in person. I fear that the cost will put this kit out of our reach though. Hopefully Jerry will have some news for us soon on it!

    2quick and Petro are correct. I chose not to elaborate the details. I do however anxiously await the final bids on the cost to make this kit.

    Looks cool from that angle... gives it a Mercedes kind of look. You know, the ones that were breathed on by a tuner, like AMG or something....

    I think it makes the Marauder look like a "big" Lincoln LS, which is not a bad thing, just more european looking.

    Y'all should know that there is a real Lady in my life who watches over my shoulder. Not only on my mods, but my MM.Net posts, and my road trips too. She's really hip on most of this MM stuff.

    (okay, who is writing to her, eh? One of y'all is keeping her up to date and I don't appreciate this back door stuff! Knock it off!)

    Her first response to this treatment came in the form of a question I had to prove an answer for. The question was "when did you hit the garage wall, and how much did it cost us."

    Honest to God, that's what she asked, and I have to agree with her, this pic looks like an MM punched in the nose.

    Shaved door handles, lower stance, larger wheels, and all that...Well, we never got that far in our discussion. Her last words were "don't you go there" with a few more vowels and verbs, to taste.

    Someone bail me out, please? I love the MM, but I have to say..."this sucks."
