I didn't need that visualization, either. I weigh in at somewhere between 200 and 300 pounds too, but not just my butt. God!

So these are the conditions under which you initially tested the hood yourself? Then you would need to replicate that with the model, sure.

No, I was sitting on the hood/fender many times fully clothed, never naked.

And my butt doesn't weigh 240lbs, that would have been the TOTAL weight, lol!

Well then in the interests of accurate automotive testing and scientific replication, your model will also have to wear some kind of garment, be it ever so humble.

Okay..............I'll keep you all posted. When the event takes place, I'll make sure the appropriate fellows are copied. And I've decided to not allow the model to pose fully on the hood.

Many thanks.
