Just not sure I can shape the complex contour without fucking it up.
So I got Paul's door skin mocked up on an early door. ( Don't worry the steel skin was beat to shit) I got the early wind up pieces and channel guides without felt. ( I need some of this stuff). How do I shape the Lexan so it will stay. |

Alright, I tried this awhile back. I was trying to form some quarter window on a Civic. They have a compound cu rve that I was trying to duplicate. I tried two 1500 watt heat guns in combination with a heat lamp and a 1000watt retina burner. I just couldn't get such a large piece hot enough to really get it to keep a form.
I was using 1/8th inch. Why are you using 1/4in? That is some super thick stuff are you looking for bullet protection? Your competitors trying to take you out? |
