Remember that awesome indestructible car from the TV series, Knight Rider? Apparently, there is a product on the civilian market that can mimic the Molecular Bonded Shell that KITT wore. The US government is having helicopters sprayed in it.

It ain't cheap, though. $50 per square foot. :shock: |

It's kind of like that episode of "Smash Lab" on the Discovery Channel, where they reinforced a 2X4 with carbon fiber, and then had 5 people stand on it, and it didn't even bend. |

i had the bed of my f150 done with it 10 years ago and it still looks great. no fading, scratches, dings......nothing. it was @ $350 to do a 6' stepside, but it's been worth it. :D
i wonder how much it would cost to do a whole humvee? :?: |

Probably, but that test with the cinderblock kinda nullifies that. |

| Speaking of that show, I thought they were bringing it back? I saw a premier of it, and then never heard anything after that; did it not go over well or ???? |

It wasn't very well produced. I watched a few episodes, and they just dragged on and on and on. |

there were so many problems with "smash lab" that I hope it never returns to the air.
They built many structures to "Test" their ideas, however, the structures weren't built to code, or even close. How can you perform a "real world" test on something that's not "Real world"?
They ran into that over and over. Even the "aerated concrete bed" idea was terrible at best - they called their experiment a "success" even tho it was a complete failure.
I could go on and on, but rather than distracting from the orignial subject ..
that line-x stuff is SO strong that in the auto racing circuit, if you've got your trans tunnel sprayed with that stuff, you don't need a transmission scatter shield.

| The whole time I was watching the Aerated episode of Smash Lab, I just kept thinking to myself - what's wrong with a thick bed of river rock gravel or sand? |

I think they should bring back "The Incredible HULK."
Only this time, have him employed as an OTR Icebox hauler.
I often fantasized about gettin' all HULK, at those Grocery Warehouses, in Chicago traffic, or at some Pilot TS's. :evil: |

Only some? For me it's most, if not all. |
