A slit, or hole, was cut in the wood for the brace to go through it. Then the wrench was screwed to the brace. <br />They used some kind of putty/clay that dried hard to attach the tips of the wrench to a piece of thin metal (about 3/4 inch x 4 inches).<br />Then some kind of super industrial strength sticky piece to attach the car to that metal plate. <br />It looks so much less complicated that it is, doesn't it?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603494913454324767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-31754786035566666392014-01-09T10:44:07.703-08:002014-01-09T10:44:07.703-08:00That is a sweet trophy.

This story makes me laugh, remembering the first time I met Mark and he told us of the jumpsuit his Mom sewed for him in middle school. Do I have that right? I seem to recall it being orange with a long, pointy collar? All I know is, the tole-painting added up with the jumpsuit story. Too funny. And I'm really happy for Jonah!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524085442453544734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-49998151468899996902011-03-08T13:21:47.873-08:002011-03-08T13:21:47.873-08:00Jeff has bad memories of the derby too.
