I have no idea what to call this thing - but it does look kind of cool :D
I had a few choices to choose from for this months competition, but thought I'd re create something I mocked up ages ago and take some pictures of it this time!
Its my brothers M03 rover mini cooper racing, my high lifts old 1.9 wheels and my metallic special pumpkin body - all fused together to make a rather odd, yet shiny front wheel drive ford F-100!
With a bit of work this could be a runner too! The pinion would need dropping to a smaller one, a higher turn motor would need to be used and some wheel wideners would need fitting. The wheelbase is bang on and the wheels clear the arches perfectly at that hight.
Hope you all like it! ;-)
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
My new shiny Xmas decoration!

Thanks everyone! Thinking about it, I've got enough spares to knock one up without my brother loosing his m03 mini

Why didn't Tamiya think of this? It all fits nicely, nice comic look!

That is a very good idea and nice looking truck, you can bet someone is going to build one now

That's a cool little truck.
Nice car and clever thinking! I was wondering lately what to do with my spare pumpkin body and this would make a nice car. Do you happen to know if with the M-03 it is possible to change from front to rear wheel drive? That would be even more realistic. Would like to hear from you. Greetz, case

Thanks guys! Case, i think you can covert them using m04 parts, thought i'm not 100% sure. That would be cool though

How about calling it a 'Midnight Munchkin'!!
