You can stall out the Main Quest line by not repairing Ack, and giving yourself time to build up the bars. Also, the Artisan perk rank 4 reduces the number of carbon bars needed pretty substantially, as each steel frame is normally 5 bars, but is only 4 with Artisan rank 4. Considering you have to build almost 40 of them all told, that's quite a discount!
