If I were to make...

... either

a) A gauge bevel or,
b) a gauge bevel and dash kit

out of copper sheeting, would anyone be interested? I've got a whole bunch of laquered copper sheeting (it's *really* thick.. like 16-18 gauge) so it won't tarnish... I dunno. I thought it would look spiffy, specially on our black interiors.

Anyone interested? I can pick some thin sheets up sometime this week or next week. Sadly tho, it's kinda expensive (non laquered stuff is cheap, but that'll tarnish in 2 days.. no good). I'll see if i can make a bevel with the stuff thats left.

Chrome will get you home.

I dunno about copper. I'd have to have it plated with 24k gold. That would look pretty cool.

I say do it, I'll help if you want, seeing the metal first hand, I think it would be pretty cool. we could make some paper templates first then transfer those to the copper
