Cars should be built by the scouts with some adult guidance.  It is understandable if the adult needs to work the cutting tools and help with preparing and mounting the axles.  However, painting and decorating should be done exclusively by the child.  The goal is not to have your son have the best looking or fastest car, but rather to have your son learn how to build things and to have pride in making something.
