This is the initial plan for the 1st car for our upcoming pinewood year.

We will also be doing an AC cobra, and a watermelon wedge.

can't wait to see the final! Knowing you it will look like you could turn the key and crank the Beach Boys.

Thanks. I dont expect them to run real well, typical outcome for us. We say ours are slower than others so everyone can see them better. :mrgreen: We hope that people enjoy them.

Good job on all of them. I particularly like the Cobra and the Woody.

That woody is sick, and the detail on the pool table is great.
Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate that. I think it would be hillarious if the pool table beat the woody in a race.

For weights you could paint some BB's and place them in the pockets

You are quite a craftsman! If you dont mind me asking, how long did each take you to make?
