With all of the aerodynamic items being made and evaluated, I was looking into a method of creating my own wind deflectors for the inside of the wheels (possibly other misc. plastic parts). The concept presented in the video below is interesting. He made other videos showing the actual construction of the device.

** Yes, I know I can use washers; I was just poking around **

B_Regal, pm me your email address. I'll send you pics of the thing we talked about at the Nationals. I think you'll find it easier than the contraption in the video.....
 
Here's another alternative to your method using a readily available machine. Relatively inexpensive, can be found for less than $120 with free shipping.

That is a pretty sweet little vacuum former. I've never seen a purpose built unit. Ally he ones I've seen before were custom built.
