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.
The fresh air control flap cleaned up well.
Now I’m hungry. Good to see your continued progress.

Well..... It is high time that I got around to finishing these heater boxes....
Damn ..... they did not send me the instruction sheet.............
A little less nauseating............
I wonder if it would be possible to document which nuts bolts and parts were installed on the car plated and which pieces were painted black after installation
i think it might be hard to do because maybe 1965 - 1968 and Porsche verses Karmann may have variance.
Just to try to make a stab at it...
the front strut hardware in the trunk area were painted black.
the rear motor mounts and large washers were painted black
the front hood bolts were painted black
the rear engine lid bolts were painted black.
the fender bolts under trunk lid were painted black
