vacuum molding race fenders

[@victorsantana4773]

Peg board for air flow with shop vac, propane grill control with steal roof panels, and vacuum forming plastic sheet. Not going to lie this is the best DIY vacuum forming machine I've seen.

[@cuustomfireguy]

Not going to lie... we laugh at the response of other racers that look aT it and say.."can you make me a set

Nicely done! A tip for next time: just use the shopvac that can create the strongest vacuum; when you add more shopvacs in parallel all that accomplishes is sucking faster, not harder. Once the air is mostly gone from under the plastic, those extra (weaker) shopvacs essentially just become leaks for the strongest shopvac and will prevent it from being able to pull the strongest vacuum it can as air will be pulled in backwards through the weaker shopvacs.

Literallly reverse compound ❤

[@Blackinterceptor999]

That's actually pretty dang badass, I see a little room for improvement of course but y'all made it work with teamwork! more people should be doin this.

[@babyTOY-YODA777]

This is so baddass. I've never seen anyone build their own vacuum molding set up. You guys are true masters of this art!

[@vidsava]

this is the world best home made vacuum forming i ever see. I want to see how gas heat it inside that oven.

[@johntarsa3027]

Love the concept/ idea that's awesome just fix that breaker problem and maybe a heat gun.... Nice!!👌👍

[@cuustomfireguy]

Your right.. the heat gun was substituted with Bertha torch .. to prevent heat old fenders. which gave more time foe suction and detail..

[@QuickCovers]

Love the ingenuity! Fantastic teamwork too.

[@carnellbaker3970]

You know how you think of things then some dose it wow thank you so much I want to dual my truck and I have to make fenders for it will be keeping an eye out for more content like this once again thanks for showing what can be done

[@Alan_Hans__]

Super cool and great teamwork.

[@drdrakeramoray6738]

Very good team work 💪🏻

[@thatswhatusdovesdo]

That was great now I know how I'm making my dodge ram baja style fenders

[@777fiddlekrazy]

fantastic!! add a buck mother over the top to increase productivity and form consistency!!

[@alexa.davronov1537]

Whoa nice. Looks pretty. Good job.

[@TheGrungy1]

I was wondering if I could up scale the diy version. Now I know. I might need to make a few mods. To fit my needs but it's awesome

[@tetoteto7193]

Did u used gas to heating the plastic

[@samirakhrif3098]

What kind of plastic you used?

[@nitrorestorations8785]

Where do you get the ABS sheets from? Thank you

[@jessemartinez6781]

How much was that plastic sheet and where can I buy it? I've called and searched and some companys wanted $350 for 1 UV ABS sheet like yours

[@ramprasath9489]

What type of sheet you using

[@xavierhardy2780]

Haha love it! Thanks for posting. How was the gas burner set up inside the roof sheeting oven to heat evenly?

[@cuustomfireguy]

I used a four burner grill. I used 7/8 od plumber pipe/black iron. caped the other end . drilled 8th inch holes every 8 inches.

[@user-do7ff9we1c]

Brilliant

[@luked9409]

Genius!!!!!!!!

Cooooool! 😊😱😍😍😍

[@dieumercikitambala3875]

How does the mold operates I would like to see in details ,the structure of the vacuum plates

[@cuustomfireguy]

Sorry for late response... the mold frame is put away in shed.. for best response.. its a peg board on a frame with blocks placed inside to hold the weight of fenders and the suction..

[@dieumercikitambala3875]

Cooll stuff

[@balthazardancers]

This is by far amazing ! What kinda of sheeting are you using ?

[@cuustomfireguy]

Abs 3mil on nose cone and 4 mil on fenders

[@brianmartin7329]

HELL YEA!

[@jackspratt4343]

What kind of burners do you have in the oven you've made ? Many thanks. It's excellent.

[@cuustomfireguy]

We used 1/2 " plumbing pipe. Drilled them every 8 inches no bigger than a 8th... ww put a cap on the other end..

[@jackspratt4343]

@@cuustomfireguy Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. May I ask, did you ever use your system on a clear plastic / perspex ? Like, for a window. And if so, did it leave marks on the transparancy? Thanks again.

[@temporalmadness3756]

im wondering what kind of plastic you used and how tick ? i was thinking ABS and about 3 or 4 mm ¿?

[@cuustomfireguy]

I think it was abs 3 mill... we also bought 4 mill we made the nose cone out of 3 mill... the fenders were 4 mill... thanks for watching my vids

[@_bjarki2345]

what type of jerry rig do u want this guy: yes

[@_bjarki2345]

no hate its so cool how u guys pulled this off

[@gpcole1994]

Hey there! Built a similar set up and wondering: 1. How thick was your ABS ..&.. 2. How long did you heat it (or) what temp did you get it to? Incredible work my man!

[@cuustomfireguy]

abs and first 4 sheets were 3/16 last 4 sheets 1/4.. the 1/4 was difficult to heat and the detail wasn't as good...

[@emameismail]

Can do again with same sheet.

[@reganinman4438]

Would that work on plastic snowmobile plastics ?

[@cuustomfireguy]

ABS plastic tends to get pretty brittle in the cold.. I've been researching more flexible compounds.. but yes the vacuum mold can make alot of parts.. the smaller they are the more difficult it becomes..

[@benc1927]

That was really cute at the end the girl in the green shirt wanted to high-five at the same time.

[@shakeelpuran6173]

Please show the finished fender, that'd be much appreciated

[@cuustomfireguy]

The finished fenders are shown on my tic toc account. Petefireman or peteryancustomfir. I'll find a few pics and post to KZbin..I never thought of it till now...

👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@RND_ADV_X]

What temp is your sheet heated to in that oven? Just curious!

[@cuustomfireguy]

we only went by how soft it was. and how far down it drooped . we didn't take a temp. if we let it go any longer the plastic would of started to burn because it was drooped so much . it was 12 inches from flames

Are the fenders durable and strong or are they flimsy

[@cuustomfireguy]

Remarkably durable. It will take a spin smash up.. to totally destroy them.. but the rubbing racing will not be a problem. Our class is NO!! Contact.... so we haven't tested it in three years

Vacuum forming with a 10amp circuit breaker... LOL That plastic cooled off like 15 seconds after placing it down...

[@cuustomfireguy]

Your correct.. the idea of heating up the fenders was talked about.. really if we went back to 3mil poly vs.4.0 the plastic is much more flexible for longer mold time.. being fenders we used thicker plastic. We Molded two nose cones two rear ends . And fives years later we made the fenders. All for fun.. thanks for watching..

No end result coverage? A pic even?

one extension cord to another breaker and you would be in business...

You should have watched this video first , kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXizfpSarNaDgbM it solves the problem of the circuit breaking.

[@jinglebunny3337]

Goofy

[@raventhelabrador2665]

Why did you keep turning the vacuum back on over and over also why leave it on so long the plastic would have cooled and no longer been able to mold anymore literally after just seconds so this whole video was actually pretty stupid.🤷‍♂️

Your "clamp System" is impressive... Sorry for joking. DWYCWTYH (Do What You Can With Tools You Have), but actually you made it.
