Dunno, but here's a very interesting use of shrink PVC.

Very cool concept using shrinkwrap. I was wondering how the Minddrive Car was able to get a permit to drive on the street. Does not appear to have the lights etc. to make it street legal.

This stuff looks awesome. I'm looking forward to messing with it in the future. It's basically the answer to all body modification woes.

You might even be able to use it as a form for the final shape in fiberglass. Thoughts?

It sounds great and it would be nice if you share some pics
