This was a critical week. I can see why so many major projects go unfinished. You have this vision and you work and work and sure, progress can be seen, but nothing that MAKES you go forward. Compartmentalization (not Bill's kind) is key. If tackling something as large as the body, I think it's important to bring at least one area up to the next level to help with the next. The interior is now 90% done. I need to paint the dash light grey (enamel) and do a final clean up, meaning it's time to put a cage in. Tubing got here this week.
For a refresher, here's week 2:
Project 73 911 R/RS -- Week 2

Thanks to all who suggested the respirator. Do not attempt this job without one.
I used Wurth products for anti-rust and sealing. The silver Wurth Gard is wild. It is never a homogenous mixture and never stops moving across the surface. I used foam brushes to start. DON'T use foam brushes. First, they shed, second, they soak up and leak the paint simultaneously. And they don't have enough strength to pick up/push the paint around. Use medium quality brushes, or a Wagner painter may even work. The good news, with exception to to runs and foam bits (600 grit clean up), the resulting surface is rock-hard and beautiful. Also, with a brush, you can push the paint into the seams.
This was a very fun week!
Tools of the week (those 40 grit flap disks for the grinder are phenomenal!)
