The Nob Hill Cable Car

8. Assemble the Ends (C), the Side/Front Seat Assemblies and the Rear Seat Assembly to the Base (A). Make sure all parts are square and clamp them until the glue has dried.

9. Once the Base Assembly has dried, dry-assemble the Roof Assembly to the Base with the Poles in position to check for proper fit. Glue the Poles, Roof and Base Assembly and clamp until dried. Be sure to allow the glue to dry thoroughly before proceeding.

10. Sand the Car Sides and Ends flush using the Disc or Belt Sander. CAUTION: While sanding, round the corners slightly...but be careful not to round them too much, since the Corner Pole holes are so close to the corners.

11. Glue the Wheels (N) and Axle Pegs (O) to the Axle Block Assemblies. After the glue has dried for about 10 to 15 minutes, carefully move the Wheels to make sure they don't get glued into place. Be careful not to move the Axle while doing this.

12. Attach the Wheel Assemblies to the Base with glue. Glue the Lights (M) into place.

13. Final sand the assembled Car with 100-grit sandpaper, being sure to knock off all sharp edges. Apply a non-toxic finish such as Salad Bowl Finish - or, if you prefer, leave unfinished!
