Does anybody have a pattern for carving out a pinewood derby car? I'd like to carve one for my grandsons.

Thanks! I thought I seen something here but I couldn't find it. It is definitely a start.

I really don't have any ideas. I did carve one by hand once that looked more like a Le Mans car with the fenders and all but don't even have a clue on how to do it with the CW. I guess a two sided carve with the wheel recess on one side and the top of the car on the other but I don't have enough skill with 3d software to even start.

What I was thinking was that if you had an idea of the shape like the side view and the top view and posted a photo of what you had in mind, drawn as lines in Windows Paint or something then I could make a pattern out of it really quickly and post it for you. But ya know just cutting it out by hand works pretty well too.
I could make it a two peice carve that would be glued together. fenders would be possible.
