davysmodels Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hello Jairus, Thank you for the article on How-To make a Vacuum Former. I am ready to finally build the VF. I would appreciate knowing what thickness plastic and brand (Evergreen, Plastruct,......) you used for the Chevy fender. I also need to replicate some fenders and a hood. Appreciate your reply. Thank you, Davys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Butyrate for windshields and styrene for body parts. I usually stay with .015 thickness for all as a starting place. Thicker for more structure and thinner for more detail. Good luck... but it really is very easy once you get the hang of it! Jairus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
