    Peg board for air flow with shop vac, propane grill control with steal roof panels, and vacuum forming plastic sheet. Not going to lie this is the best DIY vacuum forming machine I've seen.

      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    Nicely done! A tip for next time: just use the shopvac that can create the strongest vacuum; when you add more shopvacs in parallel all that accomplishes is sucking faster, not harder. Once the air is mostly gone from under the plastic, those extra (weaker) shopvacs essentially just become leaks for the strongest shopvac and will prevent it from being able to pull the strongest vacuum it can as air will be pulled in backwards through the weaker shopvacs.

      Your correct.. the idea of heating up the fenders was talked about.. really if we went back to 3mil poly vs.4.0 the plastic is much more flexible for longer mold time.. being fenders we used thicker plastic. We Molded two nose cones two rear ends . And fives years later we made the fenders. All for fun.. thanks for watching..
