    Thumbs up

    I like the structure and look of your undercoating. It’s “exactly” as it’s on my 65 and 66.

    I am not building a show car or concourse car.
    What i am trying to do is build the car as if the Porsche Design Engineer was present on the floor directing the build.
    So, there will be areas that are masked off in a more definitive way suiting the cars specific item/shape/use.
    Obviously, I have never met any Porsche Designers in person.
    I know of them by my experience with the cars and the in-depth studying and putting in steel the Workshop Drawings.
    This "Spock" like lay on of hands was developed over the years of laying out construction jobs and conducting the operation to finish. (Operating Engineer)
    I never had to ask what the Design Engineer was wanting because reading the plans and knowing what the desired product was gave me all the information i needed.
    I could tell were the Designers got their "education/skills" if it was Caltrans, City, County or petuee, petuee Architect.
