Has anyone made a clear plastic timing belt cover for the 951?

The vacuum things that form r/c car bodies that you can buy and make your own bodies out of a mold. Can we use a normal cover as a mold, and vacuum the lexan to it to form a cover? Anyone ever use one of these?

Here's a quick and dirty how-to on a homebuilt vacuforming setup.

Since lexan has to get hotter before it's formable, it might be a little more involved to do it and have it look good but I think that using 1/8" lexan a stout heatgun would probably do the trick. Since this would be a somewhat large piece a frame would pretty much be a necessity.
