1964 Chevrolet C10 Pickup (Pinewood Derby Shell)

O modelu

Full 3D View   I learned how to drive when I was 11 years old in my dad's 1964 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck with a manual transmission and 292 cu.in. straight 6. My brother still has the truck.   The wheels, tires, and hub caps provided are for show only. They are not legal for competition, and would probably not perform very well because of increased friction. The standard wheels that come with the Pinewood Derby kit look just fine, anyway.   Note: Fully assembled, this model exceeds the maximum length and width dimensions per the Pinewood Derby rules. However, if you leave the bumpers off, it fits. What is a "pinewood derby car shell"? A pinewood derby is an event created by the Boy Scouts many years ago. Each scout is given a pinewood derby kit typically consisting of a block of wood with slots for axles, 4 wheels, and 4 nails to be used as axles. The scout (and his dad, usually) will then carve the block of wood into the shape of a car, paint it and apply stickers, install the wheels on the axles, and then race it at the "derby", which involves a sloped track with a timekeeping apparatus.   An official scout derby will usually require that the parts in the kit be used for cars entered in the derby. Other organizations (including workplaces) often hold derbies, too, and some of them require the use of the parts in the box, including the block of wood.   These "pinewood derby car shells" are intended to be used with an official derby wood block, cut down to size, along with the axles and wheels included in the kit. A printable model of the shaped wood block is provided. You can either use the printed model or use it to accurately cut an official wood block down to size. Printing and Assembly Notes Printing Car body: Supports are required. Wheels: Print face up, supports will be needed. Hub caps: Print face up, no supports. Windshield: I was able to get good results by slicing a bit off of the top to get a nice, flat surface, and then print it upsid
