There is only a negative mold that the heated sheet is vacuumed over the mold.

i'm just guessing as to the process of how the max body's were made. there is a male and female mold. after release agent is applied to release the parts, a large sheet of the pdm or what the material is.. is heated to a soft texture and the male mold is lowered into the other to form the shape. after it cools, the molds are pulled apart and the body is pulled out and trimmed to finished shape, etc. .....is that even close to how it works ? anyone who knows i'd be interested in how it's done. thanks, johnboy

Here's a video of vacuum forming an Argo's body on the TV show How It's Made. The video will start where the body forming starts, but it's an interesting show to watch from the beginning!

I would hope to say they ended up in good hands.

If the Max Line ended up in good hands, they would still be available today.

Makes me think that Argo may have purchased the molds, just to limit the competition.

does it really matter. All these people demanding all these upgrades to a new max, well here you go. One man brought the max to an end so this is the result.

amen brother !!
