People have been telling me about this for a while. I finally saw the "Bug Special" episode the other night and saw it in the background several times. Looks like a 2 x 3 with metal cart and old style oven.
I wonder who built it??

You could ask Adam. He's on the RPF and chimes in now and again.
His user name there is 'asavage.'

They show using a commercial vac former on an older episode where they needed a scale car body to destroy. Maybe for their small scale tests on the rocket car? Good show. They make me jealous with all the fun they have!

Thanks for the link Sulla,.. I found Adam's website and e-mailed him. he bought it unfinished for $500 and finished it himself. Pretty good deal, I think I remember the seller calling me. They don't turn up used too often.
