    I found this quite fascinating. For those that dont want to read the article, basically a giant telescope was constructed from London to New York. People on both sides were able to see one another at different times of day..... http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/05/22...ject/index.html sweet

    Im just curious if anyone on here has read her college thesis?
  3. Sounds good to me accept for the laminating. I have gotten into the habit of using either duct tape or painters tape. I lay on a couple layers of tape so the resin doesn't soak through, then use a plastic drop cloth to cover the rest of the floorboard and seat. Then wet out the mat in strips and just apply it to the tape. If you dab the resin on the mat until the mat itself is transparent. ( which you should always do transparent = good saturation) It will stick to the tape well on the vertical surface. Lay up a layer worth of strips one direction, then lay another layer of strips 90 degrees on the bias. THen one more on the 90 bias for good measures. I do all thre layers at once. You get a really strong light weight floor mold. Once the mat has cured and is dry to the touch, pull the mold and remove the tape. If your worried about warpage, you can always put the plastic droploth on the back of the mold and put the mold back into the car to fully cure. But there are several different ways to go about building kicks in a vehicle though. It depends mainly on the vehicle and the kick area in question Figure for a pair of kicks $10 mat $30 gallon of resin ( won't need but a little over a quart for a normal size set of kicks. But it's cheaper to buy in bulk ) $20 for two quarts of filler ( one reinforced ) $5 sandpaper $5 for tape $5 for gloves and brushes $2 for plastic tarp and some scrap mdf for a pair of baffles much appreciated..... what about something as far as amp racks go, or, specifically, where the amp is embedded into the side panel in the trunk and even into the floor of the trunk. Im not saying that this is done with fiber, considering ive been told its mostly done with mdf.
  4. what exactly is horse chit???
  5. Thank you...im all for the basics.... Few more questions... is fiberglass costly? Im sure this depends on the quality you get, but for simple molds hows the cost??

    lol, and it starts. and doesn't the explorers still have 5x7s all the way around? placed about midlevel in the door? i've not been in a 08, but it seems like ford really loved that size speaker in that location. if it is a 5x7, it won't be much effort for a dedicated 8" mid to be placed there. though i'm wondering (i'm a bit of a basshead, as sean will attest to) if they are placed at a mid level location what that will do for staging/blending. it will surely help in the ability to hear/fell it though, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yes they have 5x7 all the way around.......but 8'', as you said, wont be anything tough......placement wise..... also they're a little bit ower than mid level.....
  7. aight.....what type of material is used for kickpanel construction or any other panel for that matter......and how exactly is it molded............ :rockwoot: :rockwoot:
  8. I was curious if anyone had any sites i can browse and educate myself on custom fabrication....not real complex chit, just things along the lines of amp racks and custom door/kick panels.... much appreciated
  9. well duhhhhh
  10. Imagine if you drank it just because it tastes good........hmmmm
  11. Weight Class?? Have you had any other fighting experience outside the judo and mma training....to include street.. Ive been meeting my goals since i left highschool (06).....I was 6'4 and wrestled at 152lbs, talk about being fukin skinny.....i gained about 20 lbs in those two years and ive been in iraq for the last almost 10 months and threw on anther 42lbs of muscle....hoping to be 230 before the end of the year....keep the bf low as possible.... and be able to lift a full keg over my head......
  12. yessir One more thing....Its something I believe with most all supplements, especially protein; its what works for you. Everyone could post all day what makes things taste better, go down smoother, but the fact is, its gonna take some experimenting with different brands to see what you like best..........thats just my two sense, considering it took me almost 2 years to find a protein that i actually ENJOY drinking 3-4 times a day....
  13. My favorite is soursce of life multi w/o iron. They make mini ones if you can swallow big pills. Right now as I'm lazy and fat and not working out I only take 1/3 what they recomend. when active I would still probably only take 2/3 divided into 2 doses per day. I also like the universal animal paks. I worked in a nutrition shop for years, and have read so much I should just go to school and get the paperwork. I would say in general stay away from daily one or drug store brands. when I was lifting 4 times a week on a 3 way split, and running 3 miles 3 times a week. I was taking an animal pak a day(had a good deal on them at the time they get spendy) and took an aditional 3 grams of vitamin c divided up into 3 doses every day. I find though unless you want to make working out and nutrition #1 in your life it's pretty hard to be super dedicated. NOW nutrition makes a few really decent versions and I did like the gellcap green powder filled multi also. x2 for animal pak
