The title says it all. I need some tuts and how to make clear bumpers,hoods,side mirrors, bodies etc... and how to make clear chassis parts. I.E front and rear decks the black lower peice, gearboxes, bearings etc... If anyone knows something about hot to make these that would be appricated (sp?).

Whats the point in this? Just do what noturday said. I believe that should work.

Alright but I have no way of molding something so yea. The point for this is just to see how the car works while running etc...(I dont want to take off the body or anything) Also it just looks cool

well if you had the cash to purchase a vacuum molding machine, then you could make your own parts and sell replacements to people for cash

How much are vaccum molding machines and where can I find one? I think I might do that. It depends if people are willing to pay for clear parts. If not, then theres no point in it.

Exactly how much is "hellofa alot" I already have the cf package. The clear chassis got me thinking into making my car a completely clear one. I also perfer not to buy the clear nascar body from AM because I dont have the money. Unless someone will be nice and sell it to me for a cheaper price:D

the clear plastic chassis isnt as strong as the tan ones, i hit a wall and the whole front clip fell off cuz the chassis broke up there

or instead of using plexiglass you could use pieces of clear thin plastic of which are made the RS packs(or any other product that has that kind of package)
