Duster Rear Window Louvers

19 Again.. said
Okay... I'm not letting this die.. I have a set of louveres I bought that I haven't received yet. But when I get them I'm going to carve on them till I get the look I want.. Now we all have been talking about fiberglass, I had another Idea.. "Vacuum Forming". I know the basics of heating a piece a heavy guage vinyl and it gets sucked down around the form, (louveres). They may be extremely light and only need to be taped on with some 3M tape, but I don't think the cost would be as stiff as fiberglass?? I'm going to do some research and see what the cost may be.. But it's another avenue that we can look at. Possibly cheap enough that a wooden form could work as well.. Who knows. but I don't give up that easily.. I like a good challenge!!!

Just a thought but why not take them to a 3D modeler ,cad cam prototyping shop , they can trace them into a computer model which can then be used to either cnc mill a mold from either wood or metal or there are places that could shoot a laser into a tub of surfboard resin and create a mold that way , there is even a way now to 3D print objects from a 3D printer that creates slices that are glued together to create the actual object {search the 3D paper gun project} . I think if you are on to something with the vacuum forming idea if we can just figure a cost effective way to generate the mold we will be able to use it to go either way with fiberglass or vacuum formed plastic .
