1/4" (or larger) Brad Point or Forstner drill bit (hardware store item)
1/4" wood chisel
3.5 ounces of Segmented Lead (available from Maximum Velocity!)
Recommended but optional: 1/16" thick Basswood measuring 4" long (min.) x 1-1/2" wide (min.) - Available at most hobby and craft stores - The car can be completely built from the pine block, however, the use of the Basswood greatly simplifies creating the cover plate.
Drag Racer decal sheet and 1/8" black pinstriping was used to customize the car in the photo.
