Hmm.. by the way.. I might have access to high end vacuum molding
equipment. It was used to make snowmobile parts. Now if only I could
get suitable moulds...
Theres a 10 M euros worth of molding equipment standing unused in my
friends "garage" which I have access to. Two machines: other for
making "bottles", like expansion tank and such other for making
snowmobile body parts like hoods and side panels.
