Interesting, how do they make that inner cover for the spyder lid.
Thats Kevlar. Makes the car weigh a little more but in ny head piece of mind from rocks in wheel wells, etc. i believe it is sprayed on.
Todd,
I know nothing about Kevlar in automotive applications. In sailboat sails, it is used for its strength and ability to hold shape and at the same time be able to be adjusted for a correct power shape.
It's also used in body armor.
Oh, and important here, light weight.
OH. BTW, your build is coming along nicely...
That is exactly how this is used here...think of it as under body armor. Most don't use because of the added weight but I like the protection it gives to the body... And thanks A!
Kevlar screams out for at least one nose mounted gatling gun from a AC-130 gun ship - for those trips to Newark or Chicago!

NICE! Haven't seen one of these 3000 rounds a minute beautys since I watched a Cobra Gunship with one of these mini guns prep our huey insertion zone for us in the Nam. Saw the Snoopy Gunship work out with one of these and a Bofurs 150mm mounted cannon mounted in a side door.Spectacular fireworks!!!
Todd, missed past postings, who is building your spyder?
Special Edition is building it. They are fantastic to work with.
