[QUOTE="ideliver2u67, post: 664503, member: 20799"] I have built a couple derby cars, and its fun. In fact, I have had friends bring their chunks of wood and kid to me for help. If you got a vision, its easy. I made mine look like formula 1 cars. I just looked online and there are plenty of sites to help you getting started. Make sure you put the bulk of the added weight towards the rear, not to far though. This will make it fly. Lubricate the axles. And when painting it, I sprayed mine, i mean the kids, and just before it dryed, I hit again with a spray polyurethane. It crackled the paint, took second overall in the race, and first in paint. If you wanna get fancy, buy a regular model car from the store, use the decals, and any other parts you feel go with the theme. Just have fun with it, if you mess up, buy another kit from a craft or hobby store. [/QUOTE]
