lovehamr,
Thank you for your, ugghhh, kind words!
Dean,
Thank you for you kind words.
Mike,
I am sure we do!
A Snake,
Below I will explain a little bit more about copper and its challenges.
Edley,
You never know what we will make next out of copper...
Hoppy,
I have never worked with CP. I understand it is quite soft, with unparalleled corrosion resistance, but it work hardens like crazy. The labor involved in learning to would a new material like that would be expensive--albeit, quite cool looking.
Rob,
I am not sure about Carlisle or DVSV right now. I will let you know as soon as possible. We are just trying to keep up right now.
Matt,
We spent an incredible amount on copper! Unfortunately, copper sheets are not available, in Poland at least, in the normal large sizes we are used to using on our cars. We were forced to use smaller sheets and therefore piece the car together with lots of smaller sheets, creating an incredible amount of wasted material. For example, some parts, like the hood, are usually made out of one piece of material. We had to use 2 complete sheets of copper to make the hood and the large pieces that were left over were then too small to use anywhere else. We had a huge pile of copper when we were finished. The copper mill thought we were crazy.
Joe,
You are right, pennies are now made out of
zinc because the copper in a penny is worth more than a penny.
