Car Troubles
What are some of the issues you have encountered while building your car and how did you overcome them?
paint too thick, too cold to dry, paint bubbles. sanded paint bubbles used a brush to repaint bad spots. weights didn't fit right had to super glue to get weights to stay in place. axle slot not tight hoping paint in slot will help hold axle in place. my metal pipes make car too wide so had to leave them off. car not as heavy so added weight to seat paint is drying now - again.
I think I mentioned it before but the wheels gave me the most trouble. The back axles(nails) went in great but the front didn't want to stay in. I used a hot glue gun to help hold it in place. The super glue didn't work well.
