The more I think about it the less likely that scenereo seems possible. You would have problems getting a quarter to "jump" a foot even if you were to litterally hit the underside of the hood with your fist, and like I said before the pressure required to make that happen would more than likely burst every window in the truck.

I'd have to go with the other guys..I seriously doubt he is getting a quarter or anything to bounce a foot off the HOOD. The underhood area is wide open there just isn't any pressure there to cause the hood to press out enough.

Not to mention that most hoods have that nice "heat shield" attached to it from the factory. Well, it also acts as a sound deadner to help minimize engine noise. Sound deadeners kill/absorb vibrations to do their job properly. Vibrations are what causes the flex that makes objects move. I'd have to see this one to believe it now...

I agree with wvsquirrel, there is know why that the hood will move that much.

You actually can even flex a hood like a roof since it is screwed on one end, latched on the other and they

are normally tacked braced to cross beams. His quarter might have slid a foot til it fell of the hood but I doubt that it bouced a foot off the hood until it hit the ground.

I tried to make on bounce of my friends hood and it did not work.

His system breaks glass and could not bounce a quarter.
