    So I bought an old pedal car at a garage sale, and have been working on it.
    WAY too many hours later, it's nice and straight. Too nice for a kid to run into everything (I know, I was a kid once!).

    So I got an unfinished kit from Speedway motors for the grandson.
    Here it is dry assembled.
