**Styrene Sheets**: Grab some styrene sheets from a hobby shop. You can cut, shape, and glue them together to create a custom body. It’s lightweight and easy to work with!

**Foam Carving**: Use foam blocks to carve out a body shape. Once you get the design right, you can cover it with a thin layer of fiberglass or paint to give it a smoother finish.

**Wooden Bodies**: If you’re into woodworking, you can carve a slot car body from a block of wood. It’s a bit more labor-intensive, but you can achieve some really cool designs.

**Clay Molding**: Use modeling clay to sculpt a body. Once you’re happy with the shape, you can make a mold and cast it in resin or another material.
