Pinewood Derby Car Design

Get out of the way! THE DRAGSTER doesn't waste any time getting down the track. Note how the rounded edges give this version a sleek appearance.

In addition to the car kit and basic hand tools, you will need the following supplies to build THE DRAGSTER:

1/4" Brad Point or Forstner drill bit (hardware store item)

Coping saw or another type of saw that can cut a curve

Flat and half round file, and a Shoe Rasp

Wood chisels (1/4" and 1/2")

3-1/2 ounces of segmented lead weight with adhesive removed. These plans assume that each segment is 1/4 ounce and measures 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/8".

The extended wheel base can be created by either cutting new axle slots with two hacksaw blades, or by drilling axle holes with the Pro-Body Tool. Instructions and templates are provided in the Car Plans 2 booklet.
