It's that time of year again when all the cub scouts drop whatever else they might be doing and begin making a race car out of a block of pine. Dads drop whatever they're doing and try to "help". If they're smart they will have had some influence on how the car bodies look because, like Edward in this picture, they willl probably have to make the initial rough cutting.
Then the boys take up the less dangerous tools such as sand paper and begin the final shaping.
Tim's auto body is already starting to shape up. He claims it will be modeled after the Maserati. And he plans to paint it pink as in "Race for the Cure". Jake selected a school bus as his model. He even made a very good drawing of what he expected it to look like.
After a coat of paint they're beginning to look like the boys' wanted them to be. The plain board with the silver colored pieces on top is the "family" entry which Ed is working on. He hasn't let on what it is supposed to look like when he's finished.
