Somone already makes a Corvette body. Don't know who.

There are some YouTube videos in diy injection molding. Or maybe you have a local makerspace that has an injection molding setup.

Too bad on the truck body. My mind would work like “now I must get another rc for this body...”

That truck was for my Senton. My first paint job, used can paint. I now have a airbrush and bunch of colors for Infraction body. I am trying to get this to fit Wheelbase.

30 years ago, when I raced a Tamiya Fox, I used to build my own bodies for it and paint them. I completely want to do this for my granite. I think the truck bodies are boring, and the buggy style is more what I like. I had access to a very high end vacuum form machine at my dad's work as a teen, so I was able to make some really cool designs. I casted a mold from stock body using plater of paris, mixed with a mix of water and elmer's glue. This made a very strong base. I also used styrofoam to fill the body so it wasn't so heavy. From there, I sanded, filed, sculped, made additions I filled with more PoP.

If you are vacuum forming, and haven't done it before, drill some tiny holes through your mold to pull the plastic down tight across it. I would only normally dirll 4 around the roof line but it helped greatly to get a good molding.

Probably not a good idea to heat the plastic in an oven you cook food in.

You need to make a late 70's Ford Country Squire station wagon body for your infraction. LOL

Woodgrain vinyl paneling and all.

That's actually pretty freaking awesome honestly
Edit to add **
That's a Typhon 6s, I was thinking what about on a 3s, maybe a little lower slung for the height of the canopy
