I am still working on my planned custom!

I just picked up a chap mei "dragon wagon" cab at goodwill for $1.85. I snagged a Tonka lights and sound type truck from my in-laws "random visiting kids" toy box and scored a hotwheels semi car hauler somewhere I just can't remember.

I have been cutting,cussing, and cutting some more :) I just went back through all the great trucks posted on here in the past few years, and got a page full of scaled down measurements. thanks to dremel,hypno,squashfest for the great build info....

maybe in a few more years i'll post a wip pic ;)

I got on like this one at Toys R Us Express in the mall last December for 15 or 20 bucks. They had them still the last time i was there. The doors on the cab don't open but you can shove a top half of a joe through the window. You would have to modify the interior to get a full figure in. The back of the trailer opens and will fit a Ferret or a Ram. And it comes inblue and crimson

that looks like a good option for a base to start from. I am pretty sure that the hotwheel hauler shell will work, it will take lots of modding though!
