This nightmare of tooothpicks and rubber bands is finally over. I completed the hot rod but it doesn’t work. It is just another shelf ornament. For the rubber band that I was missing, I cut a part from one of the larger rubber bands and super glued it. It actually held even though it had to be stretched very very tight. I spun the wheel and it told me I should do my vitoscope. That won’t be happening because the process I want to do on it involve spraying lacquer. With temperatures well below freezing for the next few days, I will not be venturing outside to do anything of the sorts. I also will not be spraying lacquer inside my home so I have chosen to move on to the gear ball challenge

Thanks, Liset! I am not off to a good start with the Gearball Challenge. I am missing 2 springs needed right at the beginning. None in my spares box. I guess this one will be packed up until I get the parts.

That’s a bummer! 
Just when you think you’re going to start building again, you can immediately pack it up again.
I spun the wheel again and it chose the Vitascope. NOT happening with this crazy cold weather cuz I won’t spray lacquer inside. I pulled out the jewelry box because THAT cam up on the wheel next. I have NO gold paint…and they already have that one piece in gold so I won’t do silver on the rest. NOT driving anywhere on these icy roads for gold paint. I think this a sign that I am just supposed to go and work on the pinball machine.
