absolutely brilliant idea on an AC power to DC power source alternative! i've been adapting rheostats or converting clunky DC regulators that restrict movement. Question: can one reuse old piano wire or guitar string for the hotwire or is nichrome the only way to go? Thanks for the tip

@PtrOBrn no you would want to use a thing such as a EZE foam cutter

I think it will just burn the flesh, not cut through the bone. I think the fumes would be more dangerous.

Thanks Bob. Of course you're absolutely right. You can look at the video responses posted above or search my username sgraber to see more videos. I've actually pretty much finished the car and it is street legal. Very quick and very fun.
