Very interesting and very impressive. What this also reminds me/brings home to me is that my "dream car" - the '72 911S, as are all the pre '76's -is SERIOUSLY prone to rust. Of course I knew this already, but the pictures are a graphic, undeniable reminder. Makes me sit back and wonder, "Hmmmm, maybe I will re-consider an SC?!".
I will be interested to see the progress and the finished results. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Despite the obvious hassle and expense, I envy the results you're probably going to arrive at. -Dan
