This trailer was a movie popcorn bucket you could purchase with your movie tickets..the size and detail is what got me thinking I could do something with it..After extensive use of the dremel I was able to fuse another flatbed trailer underneath and use real 1.0 beadlocks and tires to replace the original small plastic wheels. Had to fabricate some fender flares and added a few details such as chrome grab handle at entry door, foot step below entry door, rear stainless rod bumper bar and of course some LED lighting..
