Crate Construction

 

The crate is the signature piece of the car.  It MUST look like an old time orange crate.

The frame of the crate is made of 2″ x 2″ wood (1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″).  The front and back pieces are rectangular in shape.  The front piece has four sides and the back piece three.  There are two side pieces at the bottom of the crate that separate the front and back rectangles (see sk-28).
