I can't believe I didn't write anything about Jack's Cub Scout Derby Car! Jack and his dad worked really hard to make it unique. They knew it wouldn't be very fast, but it sure is something to be proud of. The boys were able to cut it our at Grandma's, and they sanded it at home together. Jack painted the primer and initial coat of black, and I added the details. It was nice and bright, and then we added the graphite to the wheels. This added a "rat rod" patina, that we decided would be easier to keep then try to sand, repaint, and risk messing it all up. He didn't place, no surprise, but he got lots of compliments. Isn't it cool?
