Back to the 50's Blvd.

Thought I'd title this topic back to the 50's blvd..
Because I'll be using a vintage 1956 pinewood derby kit to build a car with ( but with a twist.)
no 1950's car patterns in today's books!
If we could go back to the 50's using the 1955 Cub Scout Quarterly Programs guide .. titled Wheels Wings & Things.
To build a car based off of that title .. What car would you build in today's world of 2018 ?
Well I don't know about the rest of you ..
But Stroker Mc Gurk's Peppery salt flats flyer.. The Ghost of America Car comes to my mind!
To build the car the back axle location has to move forward one inch .. to make room for fitting the rear wing and rear wheels!
Time to cut it all out!
And now the wings.. Starting with the rear then the top.
For the routeing out of the cockpit and motor area .
Wing details:
Where I'm at with the build so far.. Keep watching as the car build progresses.
