You are right Gary, It was a nice time travel. I guess it depends greatly on the estimated quantity of unit To be selled, maybe (hopefully) we will be able To afford those new elaborate tooling technology in a near future!! (next platform). Thank you for your appreciation of our work in a challenging context!
This was pretty much the case for construction equipment for a long time Martin, although closed tool mouldings and near automotive quality pressings are thankfully becoming more widespread. Great results in spite of the limitations.
Thank you Gary! yes, they kept the original lettering from the fifties (50'), I like this classic signature. We had a big challenge on that project: no open-mold or moulded parts, only sheet metal cutting and bending. So we end-up playing with straigth lines and radius and tried to position them at a proper place visually!
Great work Martin, seeing that brand name again really takes me back.
