yeah i just used a corded drill and it worked fine, i guess using a cordless drill isnt fast enough or something. There was some extra plastic left over, but i used a knife to scrape it off, thanks man.

I use a drill bit in reverse, but I read on here somewhere that people use a soldering iron to burn holes in the body. I've never tried that though.
