Ben's Halloween Costume - Construction

Ben really wanted to be a race car for Halloween this year. We tried to convince him to be something else, but he wouldn't budge. So we settled on a funny car dragster since we'd been to the drag races twice this summer and those were some of his favorite kinds of race cars.
With a bunch of old cardboard boxes and a hot glue gun we created this car. Note the parachute and breakaway (velcro) wheelie bar. Also we made a set of decals based on Ben's favorite stuff (Lego, NASA, Annies Mac n Cheese, etc.). The exhaust pipes are PVC pluming pipe and fittings, pretty much everything else is cardboard and paper and lots of spray paint. Enjoy these pics!
