Jacob drew out the design for the body style of the car, but I couldn't quite get how he wanted to drill a large hole all the way through it when he also seemd to want it to be so thin. He made a clay model to show us and then he and Gpa Jim got it all cut and smoothed off and put a light varnish on it. Jacob drew/colored the flames on with my Sharpies. Then Michael and Nathan helped him with the wheels and getting the weights right. (We went to the post office to use their scale, but I was doing it wrong, but luckily Michael caught that I was and got the correct amount of weight - some large, but thin, washers, and a dime)
and here it is from all angles
(Jacob's school swimming field trip was that same day - I put the sunscreen on real thick, and it was cloudy, but his face still got pretty burnt)
winner of the "Flaming Blue Racer" award!
