Step 1: Place red transparent 1x1 cones as taillights on one of the red 1x4x2 angle plates and add white 1x2 smooth tile to indicate the license plate; this creates the rear bumper. Place yellow transparent 1x2 caps as headlights on remaining red 1x4x2 angle plate and add dark gray grill to indicate radiator; this builds the front bumper. Add red transparent 1x1x2/3 slopes to orange 1x2 45-degree slopes; this creates the rear taillight “fins”. Snap orange 1x1 caps to pegs on top of the clear 1x4x2 windshield. Assemble clear transparent 1x2 plates into two stacks of two plates each.

Step 2: Begin chassis assembly by placing black 2x4 plates and light gray 2x2 axle plates on the red 2x8 plate as shown.

Notes: Image above shows the car chassis from the underside, as it will look following assembly directions in Step 2.

Step 3: Add orange 2x2 brick, steering wheel, black 2x2 plate and the 2 orange 1x1 bricks to topside of chassis as shown.

Step 4: Add stacks of 2 clear 1x2 plates to headlight and taillight bumper assemblies. Place bumpers on chassis at front and back as shown.

Step 5: Attach orange 1x4 arch bricks to form fenders.

Step 6: Add windshield. Place the orange and red transparent slope “fins” on car as shown.

Step 7: Add red 2x2 smooth tiles and orange 1x2 grills to finish the car “body”.

Step 8: Carefully add the wheel assemblies to the four stud pegs on both 2x2 light gray axle plates and you’re ready to roll!


Notes: Change the look of your car by simply replacing the orange arch bricks and other parts with your own colors.
