Car Fenders

Pinewood Derby Car Fenders

These fenders are glued to the side of your car block before you shape your car.
Not recommended for use on pre-cut cars.

 

Instructions


Attach the wheels and axles to your block. Position the fenders so that there is equal spacing around the wheels. The bottom of the fender will not be flush with the bottom of the block.  Glue the fenders to the block with a good wood glue. Secure in place with clamps or rubber bands.

If your design has the fenders raising above the car body at any point then it will be easier to glue the fender on the body after the fender has been shaped.

After the glue has dried, remove the wheels and trace your design on both sides of the car. Cut with a band saw or coping saw.


Round the edges with sandpaper or a file.


The fenders may cause some cars to exceed the 5 oz maximum weight. You can remove weight by drilling holes in the bottom of the car near the front.
