Thanks.
I found a link that explains them both. Lexan is more durable but scratches easy. Acrylic breaks easier. I'm thinking the stuff is cheap enough I might try the acrylic first and see what happens (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

I am pretty good friends with a guy who has an acrylic fish tank manufactoring facility. He has a huge oven and could probably do just about anything you would wish.
let me know... Keith |

It would be nice if I had a spare headlights so I could het them to that shape. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
