Our Club here holds each January a pinewood derby competition based on the
Boy Scout cars, track, rules(somewhat),etc. I can remember a TR3 one year
which was very nice. One year I simply cut out one of those Moss Motor paper
models and pasted it to the block. Sure looked pretty tasteless but it was
quick and easy.
I'll try to find the photo of the TR3 and send it to you.
Cheers
