Pinewood Derby Car Body – Harley

Pinewood Derby Car Body – Harley is a classic ramp design.  Harely has a thin front end that rams up in height just over an inch to the rear.   Each Harely is hand made with band saw and belt sander so each one will be a little different from the next.  We use 2 weight pockets on the side of the car, pour molten lead, then cover with wood putty.  Optionally, two pockets on the underside for tungsten ballasts.   This Harley design can easily be made in your kitchen / garage with just a coping saw and and hand drill.

Pinewood Derby Car Body – Harley is for the beginner racer.  Derby Dust Techs use simple, winning tips that will get you in the winner’s circle when properly tuned by you.  Take note, NO HAMMERING ever.  Because of this a #44 drill bit provided with each body to ensure easy proper axle install.   This body covers the low profile, lightweight, aerodynamic design.  COG is in the range of 3/4-1″ in front of rear axle which will allow this design to be used both on wooden and metal tracks.
