Pinewood derby

I remember my car. It was gold, had green metallic flames, and was totally awesome. It looked a bit like the Mach V, only way cooler. :) I still distinctly remember working on the car with my dad at the old workbench we had in the garage, with this gigantic (to me) machinist's vice and the light overhead with a baked enamal shade. The window had been missing glass for decades, and looked directly onto the orange tree growing by the garage. Since it was Southern California, it wasn't cold enough to worry about replacing the glass, so that never got done.

I still miss that bench and the garage, and the orange tree. I'd give a lot to buy it and bring it back to MA and use it again. 

Thanks for bringing back those memories.

Very cool.  I have such great memories of the Pinewood Derby.  Got to take the county title in my last year!  It's all about sanding those nails super smooth!
Great stuff!
