Very neat carboard box restoration you did, as well as engine restorations.
I'm thinking about building a track for the three. 1/4" plywood 1.5X8' steamed into undulations. Guides? Sand at the bottom. Carbon Tet..........

They're getting all the $$ for those car kits..

Re: A Craftsman radial saw, the constructed Tyco Cosmic Wind display rack, and the burn pile
When I was in the scouts, you had to purchase your car from the shops that sold scout apparel and goods. In addition, everyone had the same kit, I see this CNC kit being a advantage over what I recall being a kit. There was nothing pre sanded, even using the word shaped would be a stretch. Essentially you received a block of pine with two small dados across the bottom, 4 wheels and escutcheon pins for axles. This was a not too exceed $$$ event. You purchased the kit which essentially any money raised went back into your council. Your parents were allowed to offer help and advice, you the builder had to shape it, assemble it and paint it. I still have mine . I remember about 10 of us sitting all around the table at the den mother's house assembling these cars.
