David,
Stunning car! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Why copper? Just because...?
Just kinda thinking out loud, but isn't copper a lot softer than aluminum? Less springy? Does that make it easier to form? Or do you have to use heavier gauge copper to get the same strength? How do you weld it? Were the guys in the body shop eager to do this or were they begging you not to make any more?
Hey, I know: You could make the bodies out of gold and ship the cars back and forth from the US to Europe as the price of gold fluctuates... Oh wait...never mind...somebody made a move like that in the 60's...
Thanks,
Lowell
