Rear lights: Beehive or teardrop?

Wheel: Nardi, banjo, or classic w/ horn ring?

 

Whatever your vision is, Sam. Guys will go on about how for this year this is correct but your car doesn't have a Porsche vin # so it doen't really matter. If you feel the need to build it to some factory build for a particular year, that's up to you, but remember it is not and will never be a real Porsche, so do whatever the hell you want. Want the early beehive look with the 3 gauges on the dash- go for it! Want to pull all the side trim and badging off and lower it a little- the P crowd won't approve (don't worry, a lot of them don't think much of our cars anyway) but we'll all think it's very cool! The bigger and more badas* the engine, the better

I don't think any of us run drums all around, historically correct tall, skinny tires or a dinky hotrodded 36 hp engine... (think big evil laugh here!)   Al

Yup, I’m perfectly comfortable making my own choices here.  Looking for some inspiration from all of your previous experiences and wisdom gained from what worked out the way you thought, what was less successful than you hoped, that sort of thing.  My personal preferences tend towards ‘historical’, but I’m not trying to make a “fake” either.
