Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the B2's skin carbon fiber / kevlar? I seem to remember something about composite skins... I know the Blackbird has Composite leading edges and titanium skins but I can never remember about that flying wing (too slow for my tastes)
Btw: I used to have a source for the Iron Ball Black paint, I knew a guy that worked on them, but it all went to storage or with the planes when they were sent to museums.

Edit - If you go to www.sr-71.org you can read the flight manual for the blackbird. Its a bit boring to read but it is ceratinly interesting! I find it humorous that even the manual sidesteps around the never exceed speed of the plane it says that normal operating speed is Mach 3.2 and Mach 3.3 can be done only with the permission of the commander, but it says absolutely nothing about anything higher than that ...gotta love the government.

stock turbo? I didnt' know BMW made a turbo. I thought it was against their policy to do any forced induction on a factory engine. They proudly wear the 'All Motor' sticker

I know it's not out of an exotic car or anything, but has anyone done a swap with a JEEP 6 cylinder? Those are 300c.i. bad *** inline six motors!

Check this out. Sure it's a little out of arms reach (you'll get it if you click the link), but this is just nice. A lot nicer than any L28 I've seen round these parts here. Sure the paint needs a little redoing, but check out the gauge setup. For those who are sick of clicking on links of cars, this one is worth it!!

And wouldn't be nice to have this badge on your car?

What you mean to tell me you guys can't speak japanese, hahaha, suckers. No I'm just playing. I use AltaVista Babel Fish to translate the japanese site I visit. . There are tons of currency exchangers online too. There are some wicked suspension parts on that site you can't get over here. After awhile, you start to recognize alot of the japanese characters. I've been going to that site for a while and I'm finally getting used to deciphering that damn japanese. Starting to, I can by no means read japanese, just tell what cerain things mean.
