Given sufficient frontal area, you could even use a RAV4 as the donor vehicle.

My parents had a vacuum-form machine like the one you describe, with a capacity of 1 1/2x2ft. It had a heating bed on one side, and a vacuum bed on the other, of a piano hinge. One could probably fabricobble one with infrared heat lamps and a shopvac.
