Beginnings of a Pinewood Derby Car

This weekend, Carson and Andrew began working on a Pinewood Derby car.  Carson spent some time on the computer looking for a design.  After he picked it out, it was time to cut and sand the car. 



Sanding took a LONG time!  Luckily the weather was nice, so he could sit outside and swap turns with Andrew and I. 

Apparently the wheels work better if you sand down the nails for the axils so they are smooth. 




Once the sanding is complete, it's on to paint, detailing and adding weights.  Who knew these cars were so much work!?  We at least have until May to finish it.
