On the TinkerCad home page, under basic shapes, grab a box....make the box a rectangular shape(blue colour ),,,,,NOTE: for this design, every black coloured object are holes to be made(intended to cut off part of where they are placed)..... grab another box(black) incedent it at an angle as shown. it is a good practice to use the align tool... make the black box a hole and group it to the blue box.

adding one shape at a time, follow the steps in the pictures. the steering pad(black) made from the extrusion shape, the tires and the exhaust tip(black) are the only black coloured shapes that should not be made a hole and grouped
