.... is this a Fryedaye thing? Vanagon's don't have any place on them that a
standard Sears bit would not drill through under normal circumstances. "cept
maybe their owners. (couldn't resist)

Is it possible to drill through sheet metal with a hand drill?  I have
cobalt bits and a standard Sears drill.

My front license plate fell off and the screw that kept it on the
front bumper snapped off.  I want to drill another hole into the front
bumper to mount the license plate properly.  I tried to drill a hole
into the front bumper for about 30 minutes and could not.

I've also tried to drill a hole into the pillar where the fire
extinguisher is attached to.  I haven't had any luck here either.

Are there any special techniques?  Or, do I need special tools?

Thanks.
