Diecast body removal
I was planning on doing a mod using a body off of a Hotwheels car. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the body off of the car without ruining it? THX in advance.

You're also gonna have to cut the metal pegs off of the body. I use a dremel with a cutting disk.

yea a dremel is the way to go. unless you have access to a drill press. then you could do it all with the drill press. first drilling the rivet, and then putting a small sanding drum and grinding it away
