Custom remote control, HO scale
I bought a cheap small remote control truck a few weeks ago thinking I'd just swap bodies and have a cool little mud truck. It wasn't that easy. The scale was a bit off, so the hot wheels body was too long. So I had to grind out some on the inner, cut the bed off the cab, shorten the bed, glue those back together, cut off some plastic from the donor r/c truck, etc, but it works, and looks very cool.
This is one I sat the roll bar on. You guys think it's an improvement or should I toss it? Just need to shorten it a bit and a couple dabs of superglue. And it does work.

That is very cool. Laughed a lot when I saw it. The shortened box makes it look almost like a Cartoons drawing. I love it!
