Do 1970 Mustangs have side impact beams in the doors? I know from the Olds Cutlass projects I have been involved with they didn’t have them until either 70 or 71.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Damage doesn't look that bad either but it's still a 1970's car with 1970's safety standards. Pretty big tradeoff with these super powerful resto mods. Apparently you can buy aftermarket Recaro bucket seats that have built in side impact airbags, but I imagine you need a car with factory equipment to activate them.

From the looks of the door it doesn't seem so. My neighbor has a '69 fastback with a built 351 in it. He took me for a ride in it once, drove like a maniac and all I kept thinking was if he loses control and we crash and hit anything we're dead. It felt like riding in a scary fast tin can with lovely little bucket seats and lap belts.

Isn’t welding two chassis together no bueno in terms of crashes and general metal fatigue? I’m no engineer but I thought it caused the metal around the welds to become more brittle and more likely to break where you’d normally want some tough-as-hell metal.

That’s what I do to my minivan when pieces break off.

You can drive a Tesla from the app/remote. Not sure if that extends to driving on the road (lol maybe!) but you can definitely Ferris Bueller it out of the garage remotely.

Car hacks are the main reason I always watch Defcon talks on YouTube. The car industry is still behind the times when it comes to security and the amount of cheaply purchased electronics they're bodged together with from a variety of different companies who also leave backdoors into their poo poo under default passwords is concerning.

Super easy to hack in that there is almost no security between the control modules at all, if you get onto the bus you own the car.

Yup. Its why OTA updates for vehicles scare the gently caress out of me as an Infosec/Security guy.

I’m no engineer but I thought it caused the metal around the welds to become more brittle and more likely to break where you’d normally want some tough-as-hell metal. It's less the impact on the metal and more that you can't really weld a unibody correctly when making a stretch anything. It's multiple layers of bent sheet metal that's spot welded together as it's built up. If you Sawzall it in half and start welding you only really get the outside. Also no engineering or testing to the design and unibodies are just barely enough for specific crash tests.

This is why you really don’t want to get into a major accident in a stretch limo, RV, or airport van. They’re essentially unregulated for crashworthiness.

I got a recall notice a couple weeks ago and the next day started the Silverado and asked me if I wanted to do an update. Read the notes and it was something about a recall. Guess my recall is now done remotely?

One exception to the RV, the Wanderlodge. They’re made by BlueBird with the primary construction based off their school bus. It’s my understanding the Wanderlodge “FC” model is even designed for a rollover crash. This one was totaled, but apparently was drivable after righting.
