Derby car build

Boy was I surprised when I opened the derby car boxes to find there were no cars inside, but instead blocks of wood.



So today we ventured over to Dads house to have him help cut out the cars.

Landon patiently waited for his car to be cut out.



And with the help of grandpa, Michael went to work sanding his car down.




Next the boys worked like crazy hand sanding every nick and cranny to get them cars smoother than a baby's bottom!

























Landon's car is on the right, he choose a design from the Internet and then traced it onto the car. Michael's car on the left, he opted to had draw his car on the block of wood himself. 


















Now all that is left is to put the final touches on the painting, add the wheels and to the race
 we go!
