Tom,

I too love the Copper body, a work of art!

Any thoughts as to making other parts of the car 'look' Copper by plating (if that's possible)? Roll bar, fender vents, quick jacks, side pipes … or even the spinners or wheels?

Default A world class achievement, yep, so what's next?

Tom, first all aluminium, next, all copper, so do I hear an all silver Cobra and then......the ultimate........a 22kt gold skin Cobra? waa, clearly the stuff of legends and worthy of a place at the Smithsonian. When I win the lottery, I will order one from you. tin-man

Tom,

The car looks spectacular, is it clear coated? I can only imagine it going green like pennies!

We've got a big hole out the back of our place too.

And does this mean we are going to see the Kirkham brothers and their shiny copper car on on prime time TV?
Sunday October 2nd at 8:00 on ABC is "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: Gomez Family - The team builds a new home in South Jordan, Utah, for the family of a woman whose young son has a blood disorder".

Could this be the episode that Kirkham fans need to watch???

a donation to Arizonas Centennial celebration, the copper state, would be nice. I would be willing to be the key keeper.

Well I have to admit to not really paying attention to the show last night, as I was cooking dinner and my kids were being noisy fighting (as they really wanted to be watching cartoons).

However I did happen to notice a very very brief appearance of the copper bodied Kirkham stopping and picking up the someone and then going to the copper mine. I did not see the Kirkham brothers.
