It's timeless. On the left of the weld is original 550 Spyder aluminum from 54-55, on the right is brand new aluminum, hard to tell a difference!

Unobtanium,
Pay no attention to nay sayers. Hell I used to weld as a ship fitter back in the 70's and 80's. Hadnt really welded since. So when I started working on my car, my welds didn';t look the best either, but they are improving and they are functional. I will say that unless you do it every day, it is a perishable skill. I think that your project is awesome and saving an old piece of art such as yours is awesome... So don't let the nay-sayers discourage you. |
