High Plains Drifter,

Thank you for your kind words. I have only ever seen one other copper car in my life as well, it was a copper Rolls Royce at Pebble Beach.

Lew, it is the angle of the photo. I KNOW they are both the same size. You would know it too if you saw the bill for the copper sheets! We had to use way more copper sheets than we do aluminum because the copper sheets only come in such small sizes we had to buy a lot of them to get the sizes we needed to make the car. There was a lot of waste and the recycle guy loved us. (We actually sold it directly back to the mill...they thougt we were crazy.)

Rick,



Mike,

Copper--want a 289 Street car with a leaf spring chassis out of copper?


casaleenie,

Many thanks for your kind words.

rbray,

You won't believe what we have brewing in the Skunksownia...

More later...

David
