Pinewood Derby Charger

[Q5XX29]

I was just going through some old photos and found these of the FK5 1970 Charger Pinewood Derby model I built with my son (now in college) several years ago. I was happy with how it turned out visually (I'll be honest, I did most of the work, lol), but better than that, it was FAST! Just like the real thing.

That is one SWEET derby car!

Make sure to save it for your son. He will cherish it!
I still have both of the pinewood cars I (my dad) made some 40+ years ago!

Much cooler than the block of wood with 4 wheels my son entered! LOL

NICE!

From the Cub Scouts. I still remember using graphite and sanding/polishing the wheels to smooth. Fun times.
