How to take apart Hot Wheels using a drill. DRILL BIT SIZES INCLUDED!
26,317
Published 2020-07-09
A quick video to help a friend understand the process of opening Hot Wheel cars and to prepare for tapping the body. I list the drill bit sizes you will need to first drill a pilot hole, then break the rivet head off, and lastly the final pilot bit to run a tap down to screw the car back together. I was not intending to post this video to YouTube, so it is uncut and not edited. Never the less, our YouTube journey begins! Thank you for watching!

Don't forget to use OIL when drilling!

I wish hotwheels would go back to making all metal bases
-
First off, never place the car upside down on metal shavings, you are asking for a scratch. Secondly, tape your 5/64th drill bit about an 1/8th to 3/16 of an inch down so you do not drill too far into the post. Stop at the tape edge, otherwise you can go right through the hood or trunk of the car.
