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 process isn’t irrelevant. Maybe if you are mounting the part to a wall but not if it’s going to get finished and used. I’m not laying in on Adam. It’s his property to do what he wants and sometimes you have to just do the best you can. But welding is more than sticking two pieces of metal together.
Again, I’m not criticizing Adam. I often think I am doing good, at least for myself, when I take unused parts and turn them into something useful. In my mind, It’s better than letting them for in a box. If someone can do better, they will get the chance when I sell it off, give it away or I’m dead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

550s are amazing. Thanks for sharing and, I'll say it again, I really wish I lived closer 'cause it'd be amazing to see this in person. Please keep posting updates.
