Ooooh! I love the TR8 "kids car" in matching paint color! Did you make that yourself, or is that actually a commercial product from some point?

I made the body from scratch, bought a chassis at Toys R Us , projected pictures from a 1/24 th scale model kit on the wall (top and side views) to match the wheelbase, then attached pictures to a large foam block and carved it out. Fiberglassed the block, then hogged out the foam with a wire wheel on a drill. Sanded it forever then had it painted red to match. Even made decals to match the TR8 decals and my custom plates.
