I’m happy with my new Beck horn button and a SoCal Speedshop shift knob. Had it been up to me, I would have quit at the two Spyder scripts on the fenders but it came with a front and rear emblem and a rear Porsche script. I’d rather have those than the mounting holes.
Part of “the long story” for me is that my early Beck Spyder identifies more with the “plastic car, parts bin special” ethos of the early 60’s-70’s in such cars as turners, lotuses, Meyers, TVR, Ginetta, Elvas, Devins, etc. than it does with anything Porsche.
Heres a new one on me. 1960 Tornado Thunderbolt. Originally Ford underpinings, Triumph motor, then 105-E Ford then CC Twin Cam just like Turners.
