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!

The factory probably gas welded those.
It is a cool project, also interesting to see how crude the factory was with those cars. Agreed, the process is kinda irrelevant, as long as you got full penetration and filled the pin holes so you can properly file and finish it. The underside is not relevant just the exterior as long as you can finish it to acceptable quality. once ground down it will need planishing and straightening anyways so fancy dime stacking doesn't matter here.. |
