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. |

Replying to: jlflemmons (Dec 11, 2008 6:25 pm) I don't know if current state-of-the-art law enforcement radars do that or not, but I still use that technique if the need arises. 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. |

Replying to: lemko (Dec 13, 2008 4:17 pm) now there are 19 different colors, plus a couple of closets that i painted with a color that i didn't use as originally intended. paint is cheap. go for it. i recommend priming first. the walls look a lot flatter when the finish paint is applied. some of the colors are reproductions of old colonial colors, so i guess it was decided to hold them, not fold them.
