Coat the tube with acrylic paint. When it's dry, mark the location of the cockpit, steering wheel, and wheels as shown. -
Snip out the cockpit and punch holes at the wheel and steering wheel marks.
-
Fold the steering wheel flap down and the other flap up to serve as a seat back.
-
Cut 4 wheels about the size of the toilet tube ends and a quarter-size steering wheel out of black craft foam.
-
Cut 4 quarter-size hubcaps out of aluminum foil.
-
Punch holes in the centers of all the circles. Glue the hubcaps onto the wheels and decorate the steering wheel with foil accents.

Give your mean machine a custom paint job; we glued on paper decorations and added numbers as well.
-
When you're ready to roll, attach the wheels and steering wheel to the tube with small paper fasteners. Start your engines!
