The Old-Fashioned Toy Cars

5: Use your Drill Press to bore the 1/4" diameter holes for the Axle Pegs...and the 3/4" diameter holes for he Windows (on the Sedan version)

6: Glue and clamp the Fenders (B) to the Bodies (A) and allow to dry thoroughly.

7: Hand sand the cars carefully, rounding off all sharp edges and corners.

8: Apply the finish of your choice. We recommend a non-toxic finish such as Salad Bowl Finish or “Preserve” Oil Finish for toys that children are likely to be playing with.

9: Attach the Wheels with glue. Use washers as spacers between the backs of the Wheels and the car Body. Test to be sure the Wheels are free-spinning and adjust the Axles accordingly. Set aside for the glue to dry.

Suggested retail price: $10 to $20 each, depending on woods and finish.
