35 lb tungsten "ballast" blocks (race cars): $1877

Twice as dense as steel & 50% more than lead, but what a price to pay
for the little space that it saves.
We've got a block of tungsten that pretty much fills up the inside of
a little plastic Pelican case. It's funny watching people do a
double-take when they pick it up.
What's it for?
Gold plating tungsten will increase it's value VERY dramatically.
It has been a very popular thing to do lately.
