<VV> Hot Wheels Question!

[par429 at aol.com]

Jon-
    I've done this several times.  I drilled the rivet until it just 
popped apart.  If you don't drill too far, it almost snaps back 
together.   To reassemble it, I just used a little super glue on the 
post where the rivet was.   IMO, the Hot Wheels Corvair can make pretty 
good looking stock Corvair with a little work.  Or even a Yenko.  
Here's one of mine:

When you finish yours, let us have a look.  I 'd like to see it.

Regards,
Phil

Subject: <VV> Hot Wheels Question!

    I thought this might be a good group to ask. I took apart a Hot 
Wheels car
(Corvair) by drilling the rivet so I could custom paint it. What do you 
 think
is the best way to re-attach the body to the chassis? Has anyone done 
this? I'm
sure I can rig it but does anyone know a smart way?

Thanks,
J.Miller
