[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 69486, member: 15"] Hahahaha...just discovered this thread..guys don't stop!! :rofl: :) Anyway back to topic, I would seriously take a look at the numerous "dumb crashes" done by the auto manufacturers and actually see how the crumple zones work. I think they showed these crashes sometimes on Discovery channel :D My personal opinion, the A, B and C pillar actually forms part of the safety cell to protect the driver and passengers and it should be as rigid as possible and the crumple zones should be left untouched ie; the frontal side fenders, shock towers and etc. Well, that's my opinion after looking at slow motion pictures of how a car reacts when its it crashed towards a wall at 80km/hr. And if I wanna do forming, it will purely be for NVH reasons. :) [/QUOTE]
