Just got the 2011 Grizzly catalog in the mail this morning. Several pages of planes including some Stanleys with "extra thick 1/8th inch blades" I'm wondering if those replace the ones made with extra thin 1/8th inch steel.

There are also several pages of planes made from ebony, rosewood, etc. These are at very affrdable prices, many under $35. Replacement irons for them are under $6. Here is a case where it doesn't make much sense to build yor own plane, when buying one is nearly the price of the parts. They are wood. Modify them as you want.
