Default Any members or vendors capable of making custom metal body?

just wondering if there is anyone on the forum here for hire that would be capable of producing a full metal body. i love the dodge m37 and want a metal body/bed for my scx10. just wondering if you guys have some recommendations of someone to contact regarding whether or not they could actually produce it and price. if no one on here is capable i may give ckrccrawlers a call as i see they do custom work.


this is what i'm going for in the end.

There is a guy out there making aluminum bodies.

But there Might be a vendor on here that could do it too.

I saw a few people who bought them bodies and after a few minutes they were just trashed. They looked like crumpled up tinfoil when they were done. Doesnt look very thick at all. Unless its sitting on the shelf, Id save my money.

very good to know. i sent them a email to simply inquire about them. durability is a top priority as this will hit the rocks and trail.
