S.U.B. VISUAL ADVERTISING/LOGO PLACMENT

Reaching Out To Corporations For Possible Funding?!

looking at corporate sponsorship to make this project a go.  time and lack of funds are doing me no favors.  anyway, i'll be contacting several companies that manufacture BoPET, Mylar, PVC, industrial fans, and surveillance equipment, et al for donating materials or money.  offering visual advertising in the form of logo tagging in exchange for their help.  visual product placement is only cool if the product is relevant to the project.

the sponsorship idea came from MMA fighter's shorts.  this same concept will apply to the S.U.B.

S.U.B. Shopping: Pressed Wood Pallets: Base (support structure)

just got off the phone w/ the seller. he carries them year round. will make an ideal base support structure/stage for the s.u.b.

* stack/portable
* dimensions equal to wood pallets
* stands 5" off the ground
* lightweight
* can hold 400-500lbs
* $2 each

S.U.B.'s base/support structure

I have about 100 of these pallets they are very versatile they have no nails and you can stack about 50 pallets and only use 7 feet saves space. These pallets sell for about $15.00 each when purchased new. You can call me at 214.789.9255 if interested.
