I like the idea of building a nearly complete vehicle from that stuff. One could call it the invisible car/truck. Or maybe just pretend that it is a copy of Wonder Woman's super hero vehicle, much like the invisible plane she used in her series.
Here you go Jerry. I made a Rustler out of lexan way back ago. Had the chassis, arms and towers. Ran if for almost a year.

It look like he does nice work. Polycarb works great for making parts. I've never had any problems using threading a hole in it. I just drilled a hole slightly smaller then the screw and then work the screw in and out of it until it reached the full depth. You let the screw do the threading and try not to get it too hot other wise the threading will not be as good. Hold a screw tighter then the stock plastic parts if done that way. I have used the insert on a couple of occasions when the whole was offset or drilled to large.

I thought seeing through the lexan was also great so I made a Gee1 transmissoin plate out it for my old emaxx. Thought it added a cool touch to the emaxx.

Here's the thread with some pics of it.
