Hood Scoop

[budnate]

ok Kim, I caught up with him, the trick is to use Hydrogen & Oxygen to heat acrylic, as it does no throw soot and load the material with crud, use a rosebud tip and your going to need to rig up some kind of jig to hold your bend, as Acrylic has a memory and will try to go back to its original shape when it cools.

he also warned like I said there is a fine line of getting it loose to work with and over heating, if you over heat it, it will make tiny bubbles in the material where you were working and they will not flow out with more heat, the piece is junk at that point unless you can live with the bubbles.

get to work!

Now I know why I saw a lot of square boxes back in the day!

Thought you might want to see it with real tires on it. Getting ready to weld in the top shock mount.
