Thanks Jerry!
Yeah, when i saw the metal Woodie i did a lot of scale estimation before it got to 'Wrap it up'. Being thin steel the needed body tools are a little different than working plastic. I wouldn't haul with them, but for a just a Cruiser check out the Jada 1/16 rc for donors.

There were many words that went with previous post, i don't know how i messed it up but even many edits later it still wouldnt work for all of it?

Oh, ya noticed that...
The UPS Package Car is a 1/16 scale Iveco Daily P80 CNG in German UPS livery. Made by ''Happy People RC'' 3ch binary Toy electronics, 4 led pre-wired. Truck is set up for 6AA batteries. I've been trying to get one of them since 2020 when i saw This:

Where (German amazon let you sign in with your USA amazon account)

Shipping was slightly more than the Package Car, and still took 2 weeks to get here. Around $100 all-in. (Dude, DHL delivered a UPS delivery vehicle) i think its got great details, 4 opening doors (curb, bulkhead, 2 rear), comes with a pallet jack, flat pallet, cage pallet, many cardboard boxes, cargo net for the interior shelves...
The UPS man is a Bruder figure i already had.

Anyway, it's New, not Weird, and i'm not planning to change very much? However, i'm VERY stoked on that one!

Since it's a monitored fleet vehicle that avoids left turns,, doesn't back up unless into a loading bay, and makes constant stops... i'm liking the looks of this Light Controller with brakes, turn, and turns on auto-hazards when its stationary.

Ok maybe the Iveco is not *quite* as cool as the P600-P1200 sized Morgan-Olson, Grumman-Olson, Union City, or Utilimaster bodies, but i really liked the old Package Car nose.

Plus it gets me to stop wanting one of these.
