[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 242657, member: 6937"] Wow! Now THAT will get your attention. Not sure what the thickness of those plates may have been, but a sheet of 1/4" thick steel 4' X 8' weighs 320 pounds. A sheet of 1/8" weighs about 150. 1/16" is about 75 pounds. In any case, none of these is something you want meeting your windshield at 70 MPH. The power of the wind is one thing, but on the highway, it seems to be magnified. Stuff that stays put in a boat at 50 MPH on the water, will easily launch its way out of the boat at 35 MPH going down the highway. [/QUOTE]
