  1. This is what you need:
  2. I'd order some marine grade resin and mat instead of the cheap bondo, 3m stuff at autozone or Home Depot. It'll make your life easier, and the end product will be much better. :)/> Check out the 435 standard polyester resin at UScomposites.com, and their 3/4 oz chopped strand mat (pretty thin, so many layers are needed, but easier to shape/form). If you do go through them I'd also get some aerosil cabosil to use with the resin as a final layer/coat for a smooth finish (less sanding time for imperfections, and less bondo needed). Tongue depressors, plastic cups (not red party cups), and measure containers will come in handy, and don't forget a legit carbon filter mask. If you end up fiber-glassing the base against tape or tin-foil you may want to spray it beforehand with a mold release agent or wax, so it doesn't stick.
  3. Not sure if she's gay, but it's a start.
  4. Does this mean I can start posting gay pictures in the hop?
  5. What materials are you planning on using for the kicks?

  9. They were meant to wound and take 3 guys off the line. I always wondered why but after my buddy the 1st Sargent explained it, it made sense. That would be awesome if it were true. The .223 was chosen because it was the lowest cost "proven" round to make. The "wound channel" and "hydrostatic shock" is dubious at best. Similar to hollow point rounds. The gas rifles that Stoner made originally were designed for larger caliber centerfire cartridges like the .308. Not big at all compared the the years before when we used the 30-06. But still puts the smack down. And it worked better with the gas design. More pressure to tune with and you could use larger tubes with less chance of fouling. The biggest upswing is the amount of .223 a man can carry, regardless of the mag size. It isn't uncommon for a ranger to have 750 rounds strapped to him. In just projectiles(not case and powder) it goes from 2.6 kilos to 7.2 kilos from .223 to .308. 55 grain vs 150 grain. The .223 sucks though for most uses, especially in the smallest grain projectiles. It can't fight wind and basically relies on keyholing or tumbling to cause trauma. A hollow point on a deer is one thing, but even then some states banned the .223 as it isn't humane enough to kill white tail. But just a thick layer of denim has proven to make hollowpoints not expand as predicted. Not saying it's all flim flam and snake oil, just that the reliability isn't there. Finally, we don't even record data so well. I have never heard of a projectile hitting a soft target at a perfect perpendicular angle. Every ballistic gel test we use does it that way. If we even went to 20 degrees off a perfect T it would require an many many times larger gel structure.When judging impact on a target the only things we can rely on reliably are penetration, and actual projectile diameter. The argument of the 9mm vs the .45 ACP is silly. The argument of the .223 vs the .308 is silly. They are different rounds for different reasons. And in choosing on vs the other you give up many things. Usually the biggest is how much can I carry and how much will it cost. Because ultimately as we all know it's not just that the projectile travels down range, it's about that it is placed where it needs to be. They were meant to wound and take 3 guys off the line.

I still wouldn't mind getting an ar-15 type platform in a .308
  10. "Ahh ya got me! cya later!" *cop waves*
  11. IF YOU PROVIDE YOUR ORDER NUMBERS IT MIGHT HELP.
  12. This confuses me a little: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/67940_311081158997583_1075845420_n.jpg The girl on the right is Emilie Parker, who was killed at the shooting. Here's Obama meeting with families after the shooting: http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-sandy-hook-shooting-victims-photos-2012-12 That's the same girl in the same dress.
  13. Anyone else excited about the new crescendo comp set coming out?
  14. Oh you'll look different every time you back up.
  15. Bypass the fuse box and wire directly to the battery? Not sure if that's a good idea though... It will still most likely happen. Starter uses a bunch of volts and HUs protect themselves. Bypass the fuse box and wire directly to the battery? Not sure if that's a good idea though... It will still most likely happen. Starter uses a bunch of volts and HUs protect themselves. Good point. Sounds like a waste of time trying to bypass it anyway. The starter has nothing to do with it. It's the way the ignition is wired. The switched lead opens during the cranking cycle. We were more interested in what would happen to the head unit when the starter is running (temp voltage drop).
  16. At that point one should strongly consider a big box in the cargo area firing up. One of the biggest reasons why b-pillar walls are so loud is that the cabin volume is drastically reduced, and cabin gain goes up, up, and up! With a c-pillar wall that beneficial gain is reduced. That reduction in combination with not being able to see shit out of the back would sway me towards using a big box in the cargo area. IE: http://blog.stefanhinote.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DSC_00051.jpg Though that one did stick above the rear seats by a few inches.

    Have you tried playing with the EQ if you feel the horns lack "sparkle" on the top end? You could also try adjusting the input gain between the horns and mids.
  19. Business cards, note cards.
  20. It's insane how fast these guys are.
  21. In English, or German?
