Original underbody markings on a 1965 car

[9er]

I am in the process of restoring my 1965 912.
This was built in August of 1965 at the Porsche factory.
I have recently had the body shell chemically stripped, and today was its first time back on the rotisserie.
When I turned it over to do some work on the sills I was able to have a good look at the bottom of the car.
Because the stripping process only removes surface coatings an not rust or corrosion some original factory (or steel company) markings are visible repeating twice down through the centre of the external floor.
I have done my best to photograph it, for no other reason than that it seems interesting.
I had almost started to clean it down with Picklex 20 and a test on the markings showed that this will remove them.
It shows a company name and the date 3 5 65

A couple more

On this last pic you can see a couple of small sections of the floor which have already been cleaned with picklex

I found the same OMH markings under the green primer on a 356 nose panel I installed.

Nice work Chris. This would have to be a very, very early RHD chassis?

Many years have passed and the car is now a finished product, I learned a lot along the way, as you do.
