Extended Rocket
Pinewood Derby Car Design







The ultimate in minimal-body vehicles, THE ROCKET wastes no time as it moves its sleek chassis down the track.

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

• 25/64 inch Brad Point or Forstner drill bit - a 3/8 inch bit may work as well (hardware store item)



• Coping saw and Hacksaw blade



• Files - Triangular and shoe rasp (hardware store item)



• 4 ounces of tungsten cylinders



• Tungsten beads or disks



• Small piece of 3/8 inch dowel rod



• Drag Racer decal sheet was used to customize the car in the photo



• 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 Advanced Car Plans booklet.
