A little hint... No laser cutters or CNCs were used in the making of this car body.    |

Must be your apprentice.
I mean over and above the hint - this car is painted!
My guess is it was you, and this is to throw everyone off over at NPWDRL MOTM.
Looks like standard wheelbase.
Nice work! Super curious what you are planning on doing next!!

Incorrect!
I don’t have the patience for such a piece...
And my apprentice wishes that he possessed the skill to make anything close to this.

Well the only PWD builder that I know with those kind of scroll saw mad skills is Whoda. But, his pictures don't usually look like these.
Is your nephew building cars that you are teasing us with?
Has Chuy developed some new technology to complete such a car?
My best guess is Cherokee Chuck, if it's none of the aforementioned. It doesn't look like his prior builds. But, every car he builds is different.
I can think of more builders that it is not than it is. So, let's see if anyone else has any input or guesses.

My guess would have been Whoda based on required scroll saw skills

Thank's guy's I was looking threw some of my older photos and ran across some build pic's of how i used to make this car design. This pic shows the design to be cut out on the scroll saw.  Next pic shows how filled all the cut out's with glitter glue and used wood stains back then.  |

Super cool!
By any chance did you keep track of how much weight the glitter glue added?
How did you get the glue flush?

Eagle, best i can re-call it was around 0.2 to 0.3 grams of glitter glue weight.. about the same as 2 small tungsten cubes.
I'd put wax paper down on the top side and clamp a flat metal bar to it.. turn the car upside down and fill the glitter glue from the bottom side.
That way the top side would be flat.. the under side of the car most of the time would dry concave.
So i'd re fill tell it was somewhat convex and the shave it flat to the bottom when dry.
Cherokee Chuck .. Sweet!
Hope you don't make me brake out the seed beads for the next one! LOL!

Tell you what if you added a couple strips of those flat LED's and a battery that car would make the glow in the dark paint and black light paint cars look like a candle compared to the beam out of the top of the Luxor in Las Vegas.
