I remember doing that as a kid, IM me if you want pointers.

Use suspenders to hold the box on your body.

add real car stuff like mirrors and small lights to make it look cuter, yet giveing off the effect of "This is a Frick'n vehicle, so don't ask!" if it somehow becomes a disaster; but I highly doubt that.

An extremely bright flashlight.

Me and a friend could see the reflection of a "STOP" sign, 2 miles away.

Add mirrors, that's a nice touch
