Question Taking Apart 1/64 Action Platinum

I hope I'm not getting annoying with these questions, anyway, I bought four Platinum cars today and I was able to take the rear screw out, however, the body is still attached to the chassis and no more screws are left. How can I remove the body without damaging anything? Pictures would help. Thanks in advance.

I found it and broke the tab but at least I can start customizing. Thanks.

One more thing, I've already paint stripped it 3 times and the paint hasn't fully come off, is this some type of special paint?

Oh it's action... Have fun, what type of paint stripper are you using? I have switched to Aircraft stripper works great for me. Also If you don't already have one maybe a Dremel with a small wire wheel attachment will help you get the remaining paint off the car.

I finally got the paint off on the fifth time around. I can usually get the WC cars stripped in one go but I'll live with it.

The brand I'm currently using is Klean-Strip. I'll look into aircraft stripper once my current can runs out.
