1. What method should I use to put cars back together after taking them apart?

2. What's the best wat to strip paint off of plastic wheels?
thanks

I use Krazy Glue to put things back together or glue metal to metal. Then I use J&B KWIK or WELD to seal the bond between body and chassis especially if I've left the pins in the body that the rivets fit into. If not I just use the KG between the body and chassis joints. Mine don't usually roll, nor do I "play" with them.

Never had to strip paint from wheels. But I have stripped paint from plastic car bodies. For that I use model airplane fuel. Cox is my preferred brand...If I can get it. It'll remove the paint but won't kraze the plastic.

I have never tried this, but brake fluid could do the job of stripping the paint from plastic parts. I found this page on the net, hope you'll find it helpful:

Good luck :)
