First time building a pine car with my oldest boy. Only thing I knew back when I was a cub was weight and aerodynamics. He picked out what he wanted for his design and he stenciled it on the block. We took turns polishing the axles and wheels. He did the painting and I made the racing stripe. Used what I had for clear coat which was a matte finish so it kind of turned into a graphite magnet. My son likes the dirty look now though.
