Cool!

Now that car is more like what is expected of a road car with bumpers etc. ...a bit unbalanced...a car with a 2' fin in back with full bumper protection!

Herb's car has no trim or bumpers but has a fantastic aluminum body built by some English craftsmen who Herb found. Apparently they had no experience making bumpers or trim...or Herb just didn't want any of that.

When I was about 8 or so I was a cub scout. We had this thing called the pinewood derby. We were supposed to carve a car out of a piece of driftwood, put wheels on it and race. I remember my dad taking the block of 2 x 4 and sculpting it with his skil saw.

It actually looked a lot like Herb's car but the fins as I remember were vertical instead of curving back in over the body. I don't think I ever finished putting the wheels on or racing it though.
