the car models can be whatever, I’m just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?
is there a legal hurdle?
is there a limit to car decision in general?
is this sort of car case business already a thing?
I’d go watch the R69 GTR series by B is for Build on YouTube if you want to see how you can do this.
To make it as simple as possible you will probably want to find a donor car with a similar wheelbase and track width.
You can DIY build a car body yourself.
Like these friends in Vietnam who made their own Bugatti and used a Carolla engine. Link
Also, Truong Van Dao from Vietnam has created replicas from wood. Worth checking out the videos for the artistry.
- The real answer is Kit Cars as mentioned elsewhere.
i think i remember seeing that! I don’t know if it was clay or wood, but it’s very cool either way.
Look up Kit Cars and other types of aftermarket mods. Usually it’s an issue of getting the DMV to register it when it claims to be a Toyota but doesn’t look like one. Roadworthiness inspections are expensive and you need to have exhaustive detail on everything.
Ultimately it costs tens of thousands of dollars to do, at which point it makes more sense to just buy a nicer car (for most people)
Call it a Still Rolls Royce
