I'm in for sure. Can't wait to see what you make [].
I've been able to find the Parma, Team CRP and Pro Track parts on "very" rare occasion. Would be great to see some custom parts that we can buy direct.
I bet you can design better parts than the old period hop-ups. Interested to see your front bumper design. Don't think any aftermarket manufacturer ever tried making an aluminum GrassHopper bumper.

Im not quite sure on the front bumper design yet but im working on it. Had to order aluminum for the nerf bars as hobby store was out.

Are you going to weld them or bolt them together like Parma did?

 

[mikea96]

I think im gonna weld them or do you think bolting them would be better?

[Shodog]

Although welding them would look cooler, bolting them would be stronger as the heat from welding will anneal the aluminum making it weaker.

[mikea96]

I wondered about that, so i guess i will bolt them.

Hey there all i still plan on making some of these parts, I have just been really busy after moving recently. Hope to have some pics up this week.
