id like to try it on the vert
|
I just took apart a boat that relied on the foam as part of the structure of the hull, because the bond was not there for the foam the hull was compromised, same thing for a frame rail, you can pump all you think you can get in there, if it doesnt bond 100% your wasting your time.
Someone would have to hook up sensors to the frame rails and measure before and after to see if it really worked or not. |
Well after reading this article years ago I plan to use it on my streetcar build up.

they combined that with a total suspension makeover, how could they ever see the results of the foam alone?
In that article the car was never completed anyhow |

its safe to say that most people who would foam a car are running a silly loud exuast, the sound deading is a useless thing at that point

Wouldn't that be easier than some foam stuff? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |

Making it good for some rollover protection. Im still considering it. |
