Looking for old PHR article.
I think it was Popular hotrodding that did an article a few years back about flexible body parts and effects on speed.
They set up a high speed camera at the end of a drag strip taking pictures of cars coming through the traps showing how distorted the front ends of cars where at speed. Fiberglass hoods buckling in. Cars with plastic noses like mustangs and camaros distorting flattening out etc.
Anyone remember that article or know of a link to pics like that.Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

It was an article on aerodynamics, it was on more than just the distortion, although it did a great job of showing it. There was a late 80's Camaro at speed with its IROC nose damn near touching the ground, I believe it was caused by the owner removing nose bracing for weight reduction. That is all I can remember about the article.
