I found this build on another forum!!

So if the 55 wasn't amazing enough, this meticulous guy is the master of aluminum! These guys are incredible!

I think this guy is actually producing these bodies regularly now.

Slap a 40 body on there and that's a sweet ride. But a grand for an r/c? Hmmm....I have bought entire full size rigs for that!

I'd love to see a vid with the motor and gear reduction "transmission"

that's a pretty cool v8 engine. If truly inspired by the FJ40 they should have put an F engine in that sucker, now that would have been cool.

Pretty incredible work.

There is a local guy in his 90s. Years ago - about the time they were disappearing - he started building models of the local trolley cars out of the sheetmetal from oil cans and soup cans. Pretty cool to see such things continuing on (in a way)...
