Beehives??

Scro - Chris Schofield Central MassScro - Chris Schofield Central Mass

I am building a new IM with Henry.  Actually he is going to start in a few weeks.  I have been thinking about going with beehives versus the regular tail lights.  I am wondering though, does anyone know if this is less period correct looking than the other tail lights?  I do love the look of the beehives, but I really want the car to look as period correct as possible.  I am going with Heron Grey and a dark saddle interior with a Beige top on the Roadster version.  I am going with this color combination because I have seen pics and feel like the Heron Grey has an old fashioned look to it...Just want to make sure I don't compromise the period correctness with beehives.....Thoughts anyone??

I had an IM Roadster with tear drop tail lights, and now have an IM Speedster with Beehive tail lights.  I really prefer the Beehives, as they are more distinctive and add a little touch of whimsy to the car.  If you go with Beehives, have Henry install the glass lens ones, as they will not melt over time with the heat of the bulbs.  They don't have the original 'stepped' design, but I think they are the better choice.

Marty on this site has an IM Roadster with Beehives, and it looks great.'

It's a fake Porsche.  You can put as many period correct parts on as you want.  That still won't change the fact that IT IS NOT A REAL 356 PORSCHE!

But how do you really feel about our fake Porsche's?  Where do you draw the line?  At $45k?

Thank you, Mr. Mom...
