Body molding

Me and my friend were trying to make bodies by somehow melting plastic to adapt to shapes of hot wheels. Am I doing this right?

What material did you use and how did you heat it up? Nice body by the way.

Rear Body flare

-First i found a car which i want parts from(aka real cars fenders/pumbers)
-2nd i took a knife or clip and cut the fender out.
-I had to drim it so it roughly fit the shape of the micrsizer.
-then u use bondo (real car bondo that u can get by the quart
from any car store autozone advanced pepboys) the bondo acts like glue and also acts like filler for the gaps.
-Sand the exessive body part down to the shape u want and there u go

u have to use a rough sandpaper to get the shape and a fine one to get that stuff smooth

I jsut though of a new idea for body kits and fenders: Rip them off of Muscle Machines cars and cut them to size they would look awesome.
