that's not a problem..i've actually done a couple for people. Here's another one i built for a guy...this one doesn't have the opening trunk though, but it does have opening doors! PM me if you are seriously interested in one.

the 4 switch box is just a radioshack hobby box..then i wired up the switches and everything to make it universal, so i can use it with any of my hoppers.

I picked up a '64ish Impala today with the 'hydro' kit so it should be hot when I get it done. Mine has working lights too. If it looks and works good, I might make a switchbox too. THey had a riviera and a monte carlo i might pickup if this one is hot. Its a plastic body tho, I wish it was metal :/
