Good job on the panels. What are the specs of the rest of the rig? Electronics, servo, etc?

Looks good nice and shiny, but I bet it would look sweet when it starts to oxidize.

Spray it with some lemon juice, orange juice, vinegar, anything acidic really. That will bring out the oxidization. Nice work.. I wonder if it will mess with the radio signals at all... |

At least if you crunch it you can add it to the copper scrap. It would add some weight if you kept it thick for strenghth. Does it land hard due to the extra weight? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 |

Love the look. I had planned on doing this to my wraith but had not yet had a chance. Looks great! Would look better if you chopped the back!

...all the copper was just stripped from my appartment... J/K, that is a slick looking Wraith, how much weight did it add? Can you also post a close up of the hood? I'd like to see how you did pop up hood. |

Love this! 10 minutes before you posted last night, I was trying to come up with a name for my wraith. I thought I'd make a roof from copper and name it "copperhead". Then bamb!, I see yours. Great idea doing the whole truck. I agree, that's gonna look badass as it weathers. Once it gets to the way you like it, you could clear coat it to preserve the look. :thumbup: Nice job.
