Dash has arrived.
Christmas came early! Nothing quite as elegant as a 550 Spyder dash.

Re: Dash has arrived.
What a beautiful recreation, a work of art. What else is he building for you?
Martin, that dash is several small sections welded together. Only a dedicated die punch would be able to produce that in one piece and even that might be a bridge too far.

Re: Dash has arrived.
I ended up getting a bunch of pieces I was missing from Bruce. He restored 0075 and a couple of other 550's so he has jigs built for almost every piece, really nice stuff.Justin Rio wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 4:43 pm What a beautiful recreation, a work of art. What else is he building for you?

Re: Dash has arrived.
I was thinking it would take beyond human skills to form that out of one piece but it is amazing what experts can do. I could probably form some of the flat portions pretty well.
