My Derby and Me

This is my derby car. I made it for boyscouts. It is very special to me. I came up with the designs all by myself. My Dad helped me carve it and I sanded it. We painted it green first, then we covered it with tape, then we drew a design of flames. The we cut the tape off where we we were going to paint and then we painted that part red. When it was dry, we covered it in tape again, and made a design of arrows on both sides and the top and we painted them blue. Then we nailed in the wheels. We're going to have a derby race on Saturday. I hope to get 2nd or 1st place. But even if I don't win, it's still worth it because I had a fun time making my car with my dad.
