You can find a step by step build up at

I may attempt this once I finish my K-9 project.

For Johnny 5, try this assembly guide from lynxmotion:

It is actually pretty detailed in how everything is assembled. I hope this helps.

the biggest problem I see is the tracks

you would have to custom make tracks that were big enough ( the lynxmotion tracks are tiny)

I know someone in the Tool&Die trade that is building me the frame and body including the tracks
