Help with creating a Gravity Powered Vehicle?

I’m seriously struggling on this project and its due in two days. Pleeeeease any feedback will be appreciated! I just need someway to create this or I’m gonna fail this class. I already asked my dad for help, but he says its gonna take too much time.. but maybe you can give me some steps to making an easy A (or higher) vehicle?

Details: Vehicle must pass a 6 pt. desk check inspection and travel a 2 meter distance from the end of a ramp.

The Car: You may use ANY materials to build your car. There are 3 main components in building your car: body, axle, and wheels. << I have NO idea what to use for the axle (and how to use it) and wheels. :[

The components must come from 3 different sources, must be longer than 15 cm. and less than 30 cm., no engines, no rubbers bands, no batteries, minimum of 3 wheels, vehicle must travel straight~ and thats pretty much it.

Thanks a BUNCH in advance

Undersize Bearings in a Chrysler 2.7L Engine?

I recently purchased a 2001 Chrysler Concorde that has 83,000 miles on the car. I purchased the car knowing the engine was needing repair (I knew the engine needed repair before I purchased the car). The engine had failed due to a timing chain tensioner failure; however, the engine had also been left open to atmosphere for a significant period of time so I am doing a complete teardown and rebuild on the engine. So far all components (except timing chain components) have been in good to excellent shape but I did find a surprise on the crankshaft. The rod bearings were 0.010 inch undersize and the main bearings were 0.020 inch undersize.
My question is would Chrysler build an engine with undersize bearings at the factory or is this the second time that this car has needed engine repair? The previous owner purchased this car used at 40,000 miles.
Any knowledgeable input would be appreciated.
