GIVE YOU THE INSIDE TRACK

DRILLING THE AXLE HOLES

5 Fit your table-mounted router with a W round-over bit, and rout along the edges except the area where the driver sits as noted on the Exploded View drawing. Be careful not to let the router-bit pilot fall into the axle holes when routing the edges. To complete the aerodynamic look, sand round-overs along the edges not accessible with the router. Finish-sand the car body; it's easier to do it now than after you glue the axles and exhaust pipes in place.

Add the axles, wheels, and exhaust pipes

1 From Vi" dowel stock, cut the front and rear axles to length.

2 Using the three-step drawing at left for reference, drill a Viz" hole ¥i" deep centered into the ends of each axle.

3 Center and glue the axles in the body. The longer axle is for the rear wheels.

Immediately wipe off excess glue with a damp cloth.

4 Cut the exhaust pipes to length from !4" dowel stock, and glue them in place.

5 Remove the tires from the wooden hubs. Finish-sand each car body, and apply a clear finish to the bodies and wooden hubs.

6 Press the tires back onto the hubs. Slide the axle pegs through the wheels, and glue the pegs into the holes in the axles. You're ready to roll.
