Here's another thought, if a listee has a set of these arches them we can possibly mold those, or simply create a mold from the actual van arch. It might take some time but we could then customize the extension width of the arch. I manage a team of craftsman, with 2 expert mold makers. I could ask them the best way to do it, then make the mold and send it to John with the vacuum former. I believe the vacuum former uses polystyreen? Which I remember to be pretty inexpensive. So the real cost goes into the time to vacuum form them (about 5 minutes or less per unit if I remember correctly). Each listee that orders one can trim it them selves after the form is made to speed production along and keep the cost low. Just a thought. -- Rob NYC/Long Beach, NY 88 Wolfsburg, Silver > We may want to think about a group purchase then.
