I am not Paul, over the 10 years of Tru6 I've burned enough money training people that I could have bought a perfect 993 and been further ahead. This post, or a restoration series thread on Technical, will be it. I was interviewed for an article in 000 years ago but this tidbit obviously wouldn't be in there. Another that I learned afterwards is that for 68.5 through 71 grilles, Porsche mounted the ribs on the top bars, anodized that as one piece, then dropped rivets in the bars, masked the ribs and painted the bars black. Then assembled the grille with black anodized mesh and raw, not anodized bottom bars, setting the rivets.

I really live for this kind of stuff, learning how Porsche built their early cars.
