Pinewood Derby Car Body – Wish Bone

Pinewood Derby Car Body – Wish Bone is a wedge variant by nature.  We take a pinewood derby wedge body and cut a teardrop out of the center.  What is left is this design.  Wish Bone body was a start gate advantage car. Most packs today do not allow its original design.  We are phasing out this design since it is no longer an advantage body.  I suspect that 2019 will be the last year we offer it.  This is what the front is supposed to look like.  You can still can make it that way if you desire.  We will not offer it with the quick start front end.

Derby Dust cuts side pockets, fill with lead, then cover the holes with wood putty.  Final sanding to the outer parts completes the process.  We use under pockets  for tungsten cubes.  Techs can not drill tungsten cylinders to reduce weight and as such cubes are used.
