Pinewood Derby project

In the next few weeks my son and I will be building Pinewood Derby cars. One for each of us. He's in the Royal Rangers(Assembly of God version of the boy scouts) . They even have a race just for the Dad's. I remember doing it when I was in Cub Scouts. It actually brings up some mixed memories because it was a period when my Dad wasn't around(which is pretty much the norm anyway) and so the Den leader had to help build mine. I guess it's time have some father/son time. Hardest part so far is picking a design. Here are some websites I've found on it so far:
