Anyone on here ever built a Boy Scout Pinewood Derby Car?
My son decided to join Cub Scouts this year and in about 2 months we have the Derby. We were given a block of wood, 4 small tires and 4 nails (as axles ). I've researched online and I'm amazed at some of the cars that have been fabricated and the lengths some "Dads" go to for "their" [kid's] car to win.
I'm thinking of trying to make an NSX-like car with my son and wondering just how hard it will be with my trusty Dremel tool and too much time. Here's one body style I've found that's a little similar.
