If there was a paint with the properties (basically carbon as the heat burns it so) like "Starlite" then heat would not be a problem. Tho I do not know how it would fair in the cold.

I wonder how well a neon lime yellow wrap performs. I really want to wrap it the same color as the yellow corvette.

What about rusting???...........I live in Corpus Christi, TX and the rust down here is horrible.
Not concerned in the slightest. That's why it's made of stainless steel. It's all the other cars that have to worry about rust...

I obtained a piece of 305 stainless steel from McMaster. 6” square for about $6.50. I wanted an answer to my question about if magnetic signs might still work on the CT. The answer is that nope, no ferromagnetic activity at all. Do you think this might be indicative of 30x?

Yes, at least not enough to be useful

I was thinking about the bed tailgate: as we have seen, it is made of 3 telescopic parts, all of the same steel. This means that they are 5, maybe 6 layers of 3mm 300? stainless steel.
I wonder what kind of bulletts can be stopped by this layered wall? I mean: in a car pursuit where guns are fired to a CT, due to its shape, most of them are going to hit the gate. Perhaps in this situation a CT could offer protection from ammunitions above 9mm?

To be perfectly honest, my father was wrongly shot, killed by a bullet that penetrated the tail light and entered the cabin through the plastic paneling inside our station wagon.

Now, aside from police officers, I cannot think of such a situation in real life.

agreed, you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than gettin hit by a bullet through your car.

but we dont know how the tailgate will actually be made. 5 peices of the 3mm stainless would be really heavy

------------------------------

The shooting stemmed from a confrontation at a red light at West Greens and Greens Parkway.
The woman passenger (victim?) in the truck glanced over at another vehicle that was stopped at the light and was revving its engine.
"She made eye contact with the other driver and that's all it took," said Houston PD Sgt. Hector Pizana.
Pizana said the victims (three people - man (driver), wife and female friend) were trying to get away when they were fired upon by both the driver and the passenger. One had a shotgun and the other had a handgun.

I bet there will be 0-1 layers of 3mm thick stainless steel in the tailgate. There's no need to make everything that thick, especially when it's not part of the structure.

Without looking, I can tell you none of those were shot from behind.

There was that racist dude who shot up a car full of kids a few years ago as they fled him, but...
With as many road rage shootings that there are I am not sure why you assume none would be from behind. It is fairly common with police shooting of motorist.

You realize that your first one was still shot from the side of the vehicle, right? Just because it's the back of his head doesn't mean it was through the tail of the car.

And you're speaking to someone whose father was shot and killed by police and so is intimately aware of that issue?
