Boy, this project goes on and on --

Well, the company that was going to do the vacuum forming for me kept
the pieces for quite a while, looked at them, studied, them, then after
several conversations finally decided they could not do the work from
where it stood - meaning that without a mold all ready made for them to
work with, they would not be able to do it, as they were not really set
up to make the molds. I was given the name of a company who supposedly
had laser scanning equipment that could scan and generate the number set
required to have a mold set CNC'd on a milling machine to give me the
molds I needed. Well, that company moved, no forwarding address that
anyone could find, and they were not listed in the phone book, nor did
"Information" have them. I was stumped. I knew the company, has a big
name and big rep here in the south, but I could not find them anywhere.
As I was about to give up, I was cruising in an area that I don't travel
often, and LO! there was a big sign - Conversions.. I found them.

I have an appointment next week with their engineering dept. to show and
tell and see what they think. So, one more brick in the road -- so to speak.

Will post again soon, with good news I hope.
