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!

OT-I have a (professional automotive design) scan of an original 550 that a gentleman in SoCal owns. We milled a scale model from it once. These days an apple pro phone can scan it (I doubt the quality is very useable for milling - but as technology goes, I could be surprised).
Thanks for the aluminum topic tiitle explanation, though. I can only imagine that all aluminum 356 hulks found in overgrown fields would cost a lot more money today. |
