Using 1/16" thick balsa or basswood or whatever, you end up with
a 1/16 scale car 9-1/2" long, perhaps too big for a pinewood derby car,
perhaps too big to pull a mold off of for R/C car bodies. Sure would
look neat if every other layer was stained dark before assembly, though.
Hmmm, might be looking at a lot of end grain. 1/8" material gives a 19"
car. Just as well I haven't budgeted for a benchtop scoll saw for the
workshop, this could be distracting.

Gee, read it several times before noticing "26"; and I used to
think that those early 'Beams were straight eights, not V-blocks. I'd
figured 5446cc to be around 332 cubic inches, which would be (?) an old
Ford FE big block which I didn't think would fit in a Tiger, it all had
me confused for a minute.
