Hi, this looks really kewl, but you haven't put any measurements of the strips for the wheel, or shown How to attach the cars to the wheel.. Would you please elaborate on these as this could be fun to make :)

The strips for the wheels are about 15 inches long and 3/4 inches thick. You attach the card by putting thinner strips across each wheel. Thanks for the questions, I’m sure they will help others in the future.
