The Fever
It's that time of year again and I've got the fever. Pinewood Derby fever that is.
A block of wood, 4 nails, and 4 plastic wheels. So simple, but yet...so complex.
Jordan and I (well, really mostly me I suppose) spent the weekend hard at work on our ultimate speed machine.
The J-Man figured out the shape he wanted and after some time with a block plane we had our rough shape. He also chose his paint scheme, which will be Ferarri Red laquer, blue flames, and a glossy clearcoat. We sanded all the way up to a 600 grit and the car body is silky smooth.
We've got our speed kit and are getting our wheels bur-free and efficient. Our axles will get polished tonight to minimize the friction on our wheels. Painting should begin tonight as well.
Race day is this coming Friday so we'll have a bit of time this week to max out at 5 ounces weight. And don't forget the graphite cause we'll be loading those axle up!
Stay tuned for pics of our ultimate speed machine later in the week.
