BevanWright,
We really just wanted to make a cool car. When Thomas came up with the idea, I started drooling immediately and zapped an email off to Poland. I guess you could copper plate the aluminum or who knows what but I would probably grow old figuring out how to do it.
Edley,
We could make a frame out of aluminum and make the car even lighter…but it would take some serious thinking to do it. It is not as easy as just replacing the tubes with aluminum and driving down the road. Aluminum is 1/3 the weight of steel, but it is also 1/3 the stiffness of steel. There would be some thinking to do to make it all work. But, I assure you, we are thinking about it.
Jamo,
Thank you for your kind words. I am not sure how to “tint” aluminum.
Bronze will not form. It can only be cast. I can’t think how we could do that right now.
