Pine Cars

Ready… Set… Slow? Not us! Make Hobby Lobby your #1 pit stop for all your derby car needs. This classic scouting tradition brings the whole family together to create a one-of-a-kind race car. With the right car tools, your vehicle will be zooming to the finish line in no time.

First things first, you need a wooden car! We offer a nice range of car blocks, from wedge shapes to fun Coupe car bases. Use sandpaper to round out the edges, or to create a unique and intricate shape. Let your personality shine through by adding some colorful paint. Give it personality with paint markers and car decals. Use flame stickers for an electrifying design, or go for a classic race car look with number decals.

Now it’s time to get serious by making your car heavier with weights. Before you begin, be sure to double-check your club’s rules and regulations to not overweigh it. Start by adding tungsten weights to not interrupt your design. If you would like something that covers the bottom of the vehicle, use a bar weight instead. Use wood glue for easy attachment, or a hammer and nails.

Don’t forget about wheels! Use our handy wheel alignment tool to lock them into position. Then add in your plastic wheels to test it out. We also have other supplies, like gap filler, axles, and hub tools, to meet all of your needs.

On a time crunch? We also have car kits that come with all the materials you need to succeed.

From the drawing board to the racetrack, Hobby Lobby has all the car accessories you need to make your pine car derby memorable!
