danoneism 0 Posted May 10, 2009 hye guys... since several members in the custom section area wanna do some customizing but didnt because they don't have drill to drill the rivet to separate the body and the chasis so i wanna share a method that i used to open the car's body without using a drill.... well some may find out that my method is not professional but not every one effort to buy a drill... hehethe tools u need are simple... a hammer and a swiss knife.. firstly position the edge of the knife besides the rivet... and hammer the knife... but remember to hammer it nice and slowly or otherwise u'll damage the car... huhu..once u cut through one side do the same step along the red line in the pic below... this method basically is to cut the plastic around the rivet area and the chasis will loose.. so guys... i hope it can helps u guys in doing u'r customizing project..cheers.....

aphong2681 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Great tip for those who's thinking of doin' their 1st custom but not do not have a drill. But investing on a set of drill is not a bad investment actually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhc7598 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Good tip bro dano. But as aphong said, buying a drill is a good investment.. and for those who can't afford to but drill, here is the solution.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinclair 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the tutorial. Does this method work for metal base? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danoneism 0 Posted May 11, 2009 well this tutorial is an alternative method to open the base.. it is better to use a drill than this method... hehe.... anyway bro sinclair.. this method doesn't works on metal base... works on plastic base only... so choose the right car to customize... hehe...
