Hotwheels Flash Drive

This Instructable will show you how to take a simple hotwheels car, and turn it into the coolest flash drive ever!
I would love to see your creations.  If you have made a Hotwheels flash drive post a pic as a comment.

Step 1 Selecting a car

The fist I made was a Hotwheels 07 Dodge Challenger. But you can probably use any car you like. A car with tinted windows won't have the interior so there will be more room inside to put the flash drive. Decide if you want the flash drive in front or back. Whichever one you chose it needs to be big enough to house the unit. For this Instructable I used a new Camaro. It worked well and recommend it.

I made it! Pic will be uploaded in next comment. I do suggest, however, not using hot glue to secure the USB drive itself; if the drive overheats, it softens the glue. I will be replacing the hot melt glue holding the USB drive to the bottom of the car with cyanoacrylate glue (Super Glue).

I would like to point out that in Step 9, you said that "any glue" can be used. However, since some glues are water-based, this would not work with Elmer's Glue, for example; it would damage the components of the flash drive. Perhaps you could point out that if using water-based glue, one should cover the flash drive with electrical tape (If room is available.)

 I love this project, but I have run into a problem.I can't seem to remove the rivet. do you have any tip or ticks(like the size of the drill bit) 

[shaggs31]

I used a drill bit that is almost the same size of the rivet.  I like to use lube while drilling.  This keeps the friction down and makes the drilling go smoother.  Hope that helps.

[noahh]

 I did this a few years ago, but a bit differently. I took a Hotwheels van, and popped out the back window. Then I glued it in.

A++ Shaggs! Does June-Bug let you do your instructables all over her coffee table...? Cause I've been relegated to the garage. Very cool!

[shaggs31]

I wish i had a garage to work in. then i would have a work bench and everything!

It all comes with time, young padawan.
