Progress on the cars

We've been working on our Pine Wood Derby cars the past few days. Here are some work in progress pictures. I'll post the finished product by Friday. Saturday is the race. I plan on taking the camcorder. I may not have the video up on Saturday, but by Sunday I should have it edited and ready for the blog.

Here's the shots so far:
Cari in her workshop, or as she calls it, the kitchen.This is Cari's car. She added some fishing weights to the front as headlights. The underside was drilled a little bit to glue in more of these type weights.

This is Randy's car. Window carved through it is the main feature here. You can see the metal plate screwed to the bottom for extra weight.

This is my Formula1 / Indy inspired car.
Here is the underside of my car. I had to hollow out almost all of it to add metal as weight. The car can weigh up to 5.0 ounces. The goal is to be as close as possible to that without going over. Before adding weight, my car was 2.0 ounces.

I'm adding some more weight to it tonight and then I'll be ready to paint.

I'm still counting on silencing all of you that are cheering for Cari. Also, we are not racing Randy's car against either of ours. I would not want my car to be faster than Randy's.
I hope to hear what kind of design Mojo comes up with as well.
