Replying to: boomchek (Dec 11, 2008 7:50 pm) Or some cheesy made-for-cable movie, like that one with the child molester in the black '69 Charger terrorizing the short-bus driver. "Wheels of Terror", or something like that? I actually kinda like that car, although the "ran when permanently parked" part doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. If I could see proof that it could move under its own power...and you could clean it up without it falling apart on you, I'd be tempted to give it a spot in my yard. Well, if it was free! |

Replying to: guss (Dec 12, 2008 6:20 am) Also, with a lot of those old cars, the doors really aren't as big as you might think. The car itself is a mastodon, but the doors themselves probably aren't any bigger than a modern compact. Cars may be smaller these days, but they make the doors bigger for ease of entry/exit. I had a '67 Newport 2-door hardtop...same generation, but a fairly heavy restyle. It had a huge trunk itself, but I think the '65-66 was even larger. |

Not that I would speed, of course  I really don't think the fiberglass did much of anything to the older style X-band radar units. X-band energy is just not attenuated that much by an eight inch of fiberglass. As was said, there's still all that metal behind the fiberglass anyway. Fiberglass and other non-metallic materials attenuate the signal more at the higher frequencies, Ku and Ka, that a lot of the newer radars use. |
