How To Make It  
 
 

Here is the plan

              

Wood, You Will Need and other Peaces

  • Two, 8’’ by, 6/16’’ by, 1 ½’’ for the body
  • Two, ¾’’ by ¾ by 1’’ also for the body
  • One, 5’’ by ¾’’ by ½’’ for the arm
  • Three, ¼’’dowel by, 1 2/3’’
  • One, ¼’’dowel by, ¾
  • Four, 1 ¾’’dia wheels
  • One, 7’’ peace of thread you may need to cut it to fit your car
  • One, rubber band

Tools You Will Need

  • Belt Sander
  • Scroll Saw or copping saw  
  • And other basic tools: sand paper, hammer, glue,…  

IMPORTANT

This project is a problem solving, meaning there may be a few hinks. I would suggest if you are under 8 years old, to do this project with a person older then 16.                                                    

Step 1#: Glue one of ¾’’ blocks onto the 8’’by 1 ½’’ at the front and bottom. The other one you glue 2/3 of the large wood from the front and glue this one also on the bottom. Glue the other large wood on to the small wood making sure the wood stays parallel. Then wait until the glue is hard. 

 How it should look after Step 1#.  

  Step 2#: Drill two 5/16’’ holes throw the car appositely where the red dots are indicated on the pitcher and ½’’from bottom of car. Then Drill a ¼’’ hole ½’’ into the front green dot. Drill a ¼’’ hole into the other green dot all the way.                                                                        
 Were holes should be drilled.


Step3#: Attach the wheels to two of the dowels and put them through the red holes you drilled in step 2#. Drill a 5/16’’ hole in the bottom and top of the 5’’ by ¾’’by ½’’ arm piece. Put the last dowel through the last hole in the side put the arm in to middle.
 

How the car should after look step 3#

Step 4# drill a 7/64’’ hole into the back axle. Tie the thread to the top hole in the arm. Make a small groove into the top of the arm to hold the rubber band. If you want to you can cut the car to make it look like a car.   

How to operate: put the thread through the small hole in the axle put the car on the ground and pull it back. Now put the rubber band onto the arm and then strech it to the front and hook it to the stick.
