Tips for creating wooden car?

[randyl]

Anyone have any advice for creating the ribs for something like this?

I have a CNC, and would like to modernize this technique for a kids Soapbox Derby style car…

Thanks!

On closer inspection this looks like lap siding? Which would be more forgiving than exactly sizing individual strakes and butting them.
