putting holes in bodies

[ZippyBasher]

I use a red hot screwdriver. Cuts through like butter and you can pick the "Flack" off with your fingers.

Use an old screwdriver as this will mess it up pretty bad if you use a newer one...

I have one designated just for this purpose (making holes in plastic) But you can easliy get away with a big nail and some vice grips.

I use a 10 dollar dynamite body reamer (imagine that, using the right tool).

I also mark the holes and cut them before I paint the body. What is the deal with car mags telling us to hut the holes and trim the body after painting? Seems like the dumbest thing i have heard of (next to maxamps being an industry leader!!!). What do you guys think?

Hell yeah, imagine that..............

Post #8, the correct tool for the job. And that's what I used. In fact less than 5 minutes ago.

I mark, ream, and mount my bodies before I paint. Which requires some trimming of the mold. However, I save the final bodyline cuts for after the paintjob is complete. Having sharp scissors only makes it better.
