construction class wooden vw mk4 gti

wish it was full scale I'd bring it to a hill and cruise down. Oh no sadly the wheels won't be removable. My school gets out next Friday but my teacher said we will probably end up building into next year. And i have pictures to upload

Pictures!

And why are you still in school? Haven't all highschools let out by now?

No.

I just realized you said mini mk4.. fuck I read it last night and thought you were making a full scale car out of wood well the above still applies I guess

that would be crazy

I have auto next period and i'm cutting out the car body then. The only problem i haven't resolved is how i'm going to round the fenders so it doesn't look like a block of wood in the shape of a car so i'm open to any ideas.

I'm curious if this is for an auto body class or carpentry/wood working class? Only ask because you said auto in this post and I would strongly suggest taking a different approach if that's the case. You would want to build a frame/skeleton out of wood, fill with AB foam, shape perfectly, and then either glass over it or pull molds and produce every panel in fiberglass. Either way it's a bitch, I've made body panels before and I would imagine shaping something as hard as wood would be ridiculously hard but I don't have a passion for wood so I wouldn't know lol

Woah guys, I'm still very interested? I said that at the end that I love wood working and can't wait to see it! I also said those were things I gathered from loose research, if I was wrong on something, please correct me.

I appologize if the idiocy in the top of my post masked my interest. I really do want to see this and can't wait. A few questions, when you build it, are you Building it part by part? Or out of one chunk of wood? Will it roll? Sorry for the barrage of questions.
