This sounds like a great project.
Not wanting to discourage you but I had to mention. Having been involved with many early era Porsche restoration projects even though the RSK and the RS-60 look alike in photos they are not. It would not be as simple as shortening the doors for the same reason that you went to the trouble to make your station drawing symmetrical. It just would not look right in the overall view as a model. And yes these cars originally were hand formed over a wooden buck and no two were the same, even side to side. They were a bit like snow flakes.
If you are interested. I have a full size scan of a 550 that I helped to restore, but it will be symmetrical, not like the original.
Have fun, it looks like it could be the beginning of a great one.
