All the vacuum table work is very inspiring. Awesome honcho. What shocks are you using on the rear?

Nice thing about the spool is the hardware comes with it

The tube work looks fantastic! Really like the shape!

Always wanted to try VAC forming and started to build a vac box, but stopped.
What are you using in the oven, screen frames?
Estimating the droop before pulling it out?

Yes screen frames with clamps to hold the screens tight..yes watching droop and using a temp gun..when you buy the material ask for a "mold temp" then we try and get the material to that temp..now go finish your box

And thanks..

Quick update before I head out of town..

I made up a light bar and mounted it up front...its a 12 volt led strip wired right to my 3 cell battery.

The strips come in white, I masked of all but the lights and painted it black..should work great for some night runs





Also mounted some 4.19 claws for a class 1 run..
