To be honest, I have no idea! They were the apple boxes (most of them, but all the same size) from our grocery store. You could call your local store and ask their apple box size, or go measure.

I found an image of Lightning McQueen online, then I put it into Microsoft Publisher (although any program where you can print out banner sizes would work). I altered the image to be the size I wanted the full size McQueen to be...I think it was like 3'x6' (it will be grainy, but that's okay). I printed it out (like on 24 sheets of paper or something absurd), then taped them together for the outline in the wood.<br /><br />Then, I had my husband cut it out with a skill saw. I primed the plywood, painted it red, then actually cut the McQueen banner I printed into the large chunks I wanted to paint, i.e. windshield, tires...to get the size and shapes of things. I just traced them onto the McQueen cut-out. Some details I painted, others (if it wasn't too grainy), I printed out and modge-podged them on. So..like the bumper stickers, eyes, Rust-eze logo, etc. I just did an image search on Google to find these. <br /><br />Lastly, we used a large screw and nuts and washers so the kids could put the tires on and off, although none of them actually did (probably because I never showed them they could, hehe). We also cut a hole and used a snack lid thing where they could pretend to put gas in, that was a big hit!<br /><br />So...that may seem totally confusing and a lot of work, but hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910385302391156910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534243672158721157.post-44596038429158456122011-01-02T10:39:41.383-08:002011-01-02T10:39:41.383-08:00Can you send me the details of how you did the ply...Can you send me the details of how you did the plywood lightening mcqueen?
