Hot Wheels cars are made of zamac, an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper. It’s soft enough that you can cut, grind, drill, and sand to make the modifications of the metal body. To make the decals, I found images online of the Mobil Pegasus and other logos, and created text images for the numbers and driver name in a matching font.

The manufacturer says the cycle will be around 8 minutes, but in real-life usage, I have seen it take around 8 minutes and 30 seconds. It's not a big deal, though. Now, cut two pieces of doors for two sides. Both pieces will have the same measurements. You can see the shape in the photo. Use a glue gun to attach them.
