        Eric, I am worried about underchassis aerodynamics, and how that round tubing will affect airflow. Can you go rent a wind tunnel and do some testing?

          On the ridgeline plate I made they want to know if the motor will still drop out in a head on crash. So off to the Crash test center first.

                              So can I jack up from the skin plate? And drop it on a cinder block? Then jump on the hood while it is resting on a cinder block? Then can I drop a piano on the hood while it is resting on said cinder block? Then have an elephant stand on the piano?

                                This is gonna be sold seprate from the skid plate? why not include it as a packaged deal? Also what about the people who had already bought a skidplate from you, do we get a discount?

                                It will strengthen up the skidplate but as i states in a previous pm with you, a big flaw in the skid plate in the "vents". An impact to one of them causes it to bend and hit the oilpan cracking the oil pan.

                                Dont ask me how i know.........
