Hobbyists from little kids to college students to full grown adults have been building mousetrap cars for decades.

Make sure the cylindrical rods — the axles — will fit through the eye hooks with enough room to turn. Slip one axle through the eye hooks on the back of the car and one axle through the eye hooks on the front of the car. Make sure the front and back axles are parallel.
