I made mine myself with the exception of using the bandsaw to cut out the shape that I'd drawn on the block. We were on a military base and there was a rule about kids in the wood shop. Other than that, I sanded, painted. My dad told me to take some fine grit sandpaper to the axles, and we put a little dry graphite lube on the axles. That was about 1978.

Me 1979

I think this top photo shows 2 years of cars, 1978 and 1979.
