Here's the car from which I came up with my screen name.
This was my first attempt at an outlaw derby car. It didn't have any weight, therefore it did not race well. But she sure was a beauty. It's made from African zebra wood, hence the name...zebracar.

Wow! That is indeed a work of art.
Re: Here's the car from which I came up with my screen name.
Thanks. It was my first build. I thought I'd try and wow the boys with my finish. I used some African zebra wood on a project years ago, so I picked up a bird foot from a cabinet shop near my house. I ripped the board at a 45 degree angle to the grain, and biscuit joined two boards together for the pointy wood grain look. Then I glued a block on top for a cab. Then sanded it all down. It was a pretty car, but it was by no means a fast one. I raced it last year at 4 ounces. This year i added weight bringing it up to 5 ounces and tried my hand at polishing the axels. It still wasn't a fast car.
