I'm interested that someone would, on the one hand, want a slabside and then immediately contemplate putting "big rubber" under it. The good folks at Shelby had that problem 45 years ago and had AC develop the FIA/USRRC body style...

Shelby's getting a little "mature" lately, but look at his comment in the last moments of this video.

A compromise between the slabside and the FIA are the flares and spats that were incorporated on the three "Sebring" racers (CSX 2127, 2128 and 2129) built in 1963. Tony could do the rear flares in a snap and I'm sure Peter P. could get Teddy to fabricate the spats. THAT would be very cool, IMO!
Rear flares to accomodate wider wheels and tires:
Front spats and kidney bean wheels, the correct wheel for this pre-FIA racer:
You could also get Peter to fabricate this plate for a cool recessed filler cap:
And get him to build this awesome looking dash:
Finish it off with black kidney bean wheels, black roll bar, riveted hood and hood scoop and you have a one-of-a-kind ERA! Go for it!
