Want to try building a car
With the golf season almost over & a bad tournament season in the rear view, I want to build a car this winter. I need advice from experts on what to get, where to get it & how to use it. Air-powered tools are out of question, as I live in an apartment.

Something I did to build a small little tool bench, was to check out TEMU.com. Very inexpensive stuff, will get you started with essentials, and later if you need better quality or specialized; you will know what you are after. In the beginning, you may not know what you need.
I have purchased many little things for little dollars there. Takes a good week or two to arrive, but it is worth the wait to keep the costs down as it is being shipped from overseas.
Just got a package yesterday. In it I see I have some tiny screwdrivers, small drill bits, cutting mat, silicone larger mat for working with paints, small containers to hold the stuff (toolboxes), stickers of various themes, and little doodads. I have placed a few little orders with them over the past couple of months and all has worked out well.
Good bits make a huge difference.
I only buy Gyro brand drill bits.
they are sharp enough tp cut yourself just handling it
and they sell on amazom (the death star...lol)
and don't buy an off brand dremel. the brand name one will run for a long time, and has replacement parts available
good luck!

This may help--it's a checklist I did a while back.

You can also go through the archives Modding and Performance section for more tips and tricks.
At the very minimum, you're going to need a drill and some sandpaper to crack k the car open and sand down the wheels, then some kind of lubricant.
