And .. SPEED ... STER ! Well there you have it Speedster done took off with the fries.

Whoda.

I notice you covered up the axle slots before painting. I'm curious. Where does this little beauty balance? Speedster Been's how your chomping at my fries on this car to know what it's balance point is here you go! And yes I did cover up the axle slots with painter's tape before painting the car.. ...

Okay Kid's Here's the car painted with it's first coat of clear spray paint. http://i68.tinypic.com/2wp7cpi.jpg The clear coat I'm using is by RUST-OLEUM 2X semi-gloss. http://i63.tinypic.com/dexqi1.jpg Kid's here's a little detail you can do to the fries with some salt.. if you like your french fri...

It’s ok Speedster!
And thank you for what you said ..
Because it can get confusing as to what’s the front or backside of the starting pin.

And my fix for that mistake in my design. Is to use a popsicle stick and inset it flush to the noise and bottom side of the car. Yeah, that's the easy fix. I'd keep it as an option if the car fails inspection without it. The design looks great, BTW. Please post photos of the finished car! Thank's D...

Ok kids you know how VK said to take note of the concave design on the nose of my car design And how Speedster said that it would have to be the backside of the starting pin. Well kids we all make mistakes in design and it's okay that's how we learn. So lets look at this as if : VK & Speedster were ...

Speedster Your thoughts are the same as mine about the starting pin and the back side of the pin. However there has to be a fixed point on the starting pin that all cars must start from. So with that said it has to be the front side of the starting pin that all cars must stage on and not stick past ...

Very cool! Just might wanna take note that this couldn't run in a lot of Scout races unless the front was changed to not be concave, though. What ever do you mean if the Rule reads Nothing is to stick past the starting pin. Now is that to the front side or back side of the starting pin? The concave...

Hi Kids here's a cool car you can make quick if your father or some one you know is handy with a scroll saw. I thought id title this topic do you want fries with that.. Because I'm going to share with you a way you can build your very own Mc Donald's french fry car. First you'll need your PWD kit an...

davet Way to go with the light's on this Jeep with a trailer build! Thanks. Not anywhere’s close to your works of art. I think I need more tools. Yeah, yeah more tools would be good. Are you kidding me davet .. Your 's is the work of art here! And as much as I hate to say it , I have yet to build a...

Unbelievable!!!!. That would sell for big dough at a craft store. I picture it hanging from the ceiling above some little kid's bed.

Funny you should say that davet! The thought of hanging it from ceiling in the wood shop has crossed my mind.

And Darin.. Thanks!

Thank you guy's! Whoda, do you attend any venues where you actually get to see your creations roll? Well VK! To me building these wooden cars is my stress reliever.. and a good way for me to unwind from a hard work day by seeing what i can create threw woodworking. And I do try to help out the scout...

Hope you've enjoyed watching this air plane car build!
