Ron Goodman is a customer of ours from Australia—He has an impressive collection of projects at his shop...

When our 911 was built, there was actually a worker who took care of painting a few portions of the car with a brush and a steady hand.  

Now that the freshly painted 1973.5 911 is back in our shop, we can start working on its reassembly.  

Chris Kimmelshue found a 1973 911S that had lead an interesting life—complete with some modification history from Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Fla. which was counterbalanced by some dubious metal work. The before pictures don't look bad—but isn't that how all big projects start? 

Now that our 911 is all one color, our next task is to color sand and buff the paint and finally start putting panels back on the car.  

 Keith Martin of the Roanoke, Virgina-based Martin's German Service sent us a thank-you note for our help in his shop's latest project.  

There are watershed moments both in history and in automotive restorations.  Certainly putting the final coats of paint on our 911 qualifies as such a turning point in our progress.  Parts that were dull and grey are now bright and shiny, while pieces can slowly start to go back on our 40 year-old Porsche.  

This past weekend, we finally got to put down a few coats of Sepia Brown (Color Code 415) paint on our 911 Project. 

We think it looks awesome!

This past weekend, we spotted over a few sections with a second coat of 2k primer.  This will ready us for our final round of block sanding before final paint.
