Shaving/Thinning Bodies

I have seen some people who shaved/thinned their car bodies to make it lighter/faster. I am not exactly sure how this is done. Can someone enlighten me?

They probably do this with a razor or an exacto knife. All you have to do is look at your car, and you will see spots that you can cut/shave. I havent done this before but ive heard about it. Hope that helps.

Dremel is rotary tool that has many uses! You can cut, grind, polish, drill and router most materials.
