I've had two sets, one that Rod had made and one Rod had me make. He wasn't always a stickler for authentic as long as it fit and worked. To that I would say if you followed the blueprints and used a high quality. That being said, make it out of a marine grade for water resiliency and then paint or stain it as a drive, if a show car then follow all authenticity guides.
