Default Does anyone still make aluminum bodies?

Hi,
Does anybody know if anyone out there still makes/sales aluminum bodies?
Aluminum RC Bodies doesn't make them anymore.
Please help.. I need the realistic body damage to occur on my custom scale crawler to feed my RC sickness.. I'm building a hilux.
Thanks!!

Yes they do. You have to email him and he wil custom make one for you. Why have a ton in stock when you can just throw one together!

No production at the time being.

From the web site:
Important information: I am not making bodies at this time. You can contact me but regrettably I am only checking email once or twice a month. Making these bodies has been great fun but unfortunately I no longer have the time to do so.

What a pity. Just finding these wonderful bodies and they're out of production...

Exactly.. I've emailed him several times within the past few weeks and no reply. I'm hoping someone else can make them or someone would like to sell theirs. Phippy if you can get a hold of him tell him there is demand!!!

I would totally order one of them for sure if they started making them again!

Exactly what I was thinking too (expecting prices around $500) until I saw the price list...

Typically $70 each!

No wonder the production rate was overwhelming!
I'd happily pay much more than that.

That is unfortunate, I hope he's ok and just busy with other stuff. I remember he had a rough start of it, but his work improved tenfold in a short period of time.

I also thought that he was undercutting himself and could have charged more w/o having many folks balk at the price...
