::pinewood derby prep::

Kris helped Max make a plan which included car shape and color, and then he and Max spent some long hours in the garage putting it all together.

Kris had to even put some long hours in all by himself getting things rolling along.

Personally my favorite part is the safety glasses. Finished product:

Hotcha. I actually enjoyed the whole car making thing. It was creative, and I liked the racing too. But that last car your dad made with Murphy was insane. Remember it? With the eight inch nails and the armor - that thing was TERRIFYING> I've been worried about the damage that thing could do in an earthquake for YEARS. That blue car is slick as a whistle.

Very cool car.
That nail car I made was an exhibition piece only . Special project with the new welder.

Love the blue! Great car.

Whoa! Does that car have embedded weights all along the bottom? That's SWEET! Were you there when dad made a pinewood derby car by soldering gigantic nails together? It was incredibly cool.
