How to make it
Small wheels and axles are choking hazards for kids under 3.
1Sand the body
Sand the whole body with 120 grit, then 220. Run your hand over it. It should feel like a table top.
2Wipe the dust
Wipe it with a damp paper towel and let it dry.
3Paint it
Paint a base color. Let it dry 30 minutes, then add a second coat.
4Add the details
Add racing stripes, a number and stickers.
5Put on the wheels
Grown-up step: tap the axles into the slots with a small hammer. Leave a tiny gap so the wheels spin.
6Race
Lean a board on a couch to make a ramp. Line up the cars and let go at the same time.
Spin each wheel before racing. If one rubs the body, pull its axle out a hair.
