That sure is purty! can't wait to see it done!
This should be called " The worlds heaviest RC10."
I have an RC10GT that tips the scale at 7.23 lbs. Doesn't look near as nice as the OP's car, but it can take a beating. Steel parts are tough......

Sort of If there were sets available, I'd get a set. Or I'll make a set or ask someone to make a set. Any suggestions?

The only person I know of who makes custom alloy parts is toyranosaur (Chris from Rogue Element Components). He does amazing work!!!

Here is his website http://www.rogueelementcomponents.com/

I think he only does things that would be in demand, so not sure if it would lead to anything.

The only thing after that would be ally tires :P

Poor Don the anodizer! I bet his poor fingers are all sore for polishing all those parts! LOL
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.
