That's really cool. Nice craftsmanship. Those nails remind of the chariots racing in Ben Hur movie. Do ya plan to take out other cars with it?  :rofl:

Thanks topcatcuda I didn't put the nails all the way in until final fit and finish.

It looks better than I ever expected. About 100 hrs. from start to finish.

 :thumbsup: Fantastic ! I did a couple pinewood derby cars for my two boys a few ( more than a few !) years ago myself ! I carved a few small pieces myself, a shark, and alligator, a couple of submarines ect . . .
I know how painstaking it can be ! Great job ! ! !  :worshippy

Wow!  That's really nice!  It must've been hard to get everything even and symetric! Good Job!  :thumbsup:
