Default Building a car
I was wondering if anyone has access to a band saw or scroll saw to cut his car.

Thanks,
Jim

Yes, and I plan on him cutting it with one of these saws with my guidance.

Jim, I just picked up a scroll saw out of the basement of a house that's being sold (estate thing). I'm not even sure if if works, but I'll fire it up this week and let you know.

Pinewood derbys are great. Get that thing as heavy as possible and tell him to use alot of graphite on the axles. It will fly! Good luck.
