Yes, he built it and painted it himself.
and from the items in the pic with Percy did he bake it with glee ? 
Nice work and an original idea for him Steve. Looks like you’ll have help on the RR now.
Pretty cool!
Oh! Too cool!
Cool.
Will that pass the rules? I remember back when I was a scout that the rules were pretty tough on the dimensions and weight for pine wood racers.
Kind of preferred the raingutter regatta since I won that one 
I preferred the Space Race with the rubber-band powered propeller space craft… My regatta preferred to play the part of a submarine!
Very Cool!
Very cool idea! My son made a Percy Pinewood one year too. It didn’t win the race but it won best car.

Cool! Pinewood derby was fun, both as scout and as step-dad.
Unfortunately, Matt and I would build a rather nice car together (one year we made Richard Petty’s '71 Superbird - I carved the parts he asked me to - including full width body to fit over the basic block, he did the rest, - bent the wing, assembly, sanding, painting, tuning the wheels, polishing the axles…) – Then his dad would show up for the meeting and insist he HAD to run whatever HE had built FOR him… He was the kid’s father, I just stood aside
However, twice, just for giggles, after it was all over and most folks had left (including dad and Matt) I ran Matt’s car vs Matt’s entry car (or more accurately his dad’s car)… Both times the one he had worked on himself beat the other by several lengths 3 out of 3. Rather than gloating, it just made me rather sad that his father’s ego had robbed his son of something.
Perhaps even more sad, I doubt “Kevin” (he was a Jr, dad was Kevin, son was Matt) even remembers that anymore. The custody fight between his parents was vicious, and at some point he took dad’s side (because dad took him to amusement parks and bought stuff, and I made him do chores and homework? Kids with ADD sometimes fixate) He hasn’t talked to me in years, and rarely even visits his mom. Maybe someday… maybe.
I’ve done a representation of a Santa Fe EMD FT diesel and a blue and orange Lionel Lines caboose as pinewood derby cars, both did well.
