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!

Here are some shots of the fender off of 0054, which is rumored to may have been touched by James Dean. Double rumor, when he went to look at 0055, which he later bought, he test drove 0054. No idea if it's true, but a small piece of Dean may have been in the backseat of my truck!
Wray, who is helping me build the car, was amazed at how many different pieces they welded together for the 550. Of course, he came up working for his grandfather, restoring Duesenberg's so long big pieces shaped is nothing to him, but apparently at Wendler it was make lots of pieces and weld them up.
