Thread: Sick and tired of louvers

Tweet

After paintin hot rods and dailys for over 45 years, and tired of sandin louvers and wanting sumthin different on the new roadster.
Remembered I had 2 left over 56 buick portholes from a build about 7 years ago.
So after a little measurin and whittiling, stuffed these in the flat hood sides of the Green (soon 2B Black) roadster

I'm glad to see someone else is tired of something on cars. I'm waaaaaaaay tired of chopped tops and lowered cars that can't negotiate over a manhole cover. It's just stupid.

With you on the louvers, I think they had their day back in the '50s. And as for the super low cars, well I just don't get that at all. At least we have laws about that here in Canada.

Yeah I've seen guys lower there rucks to the point they are use less as trucks and ride like rocks

I don't consider super low ones even cars.
if it can't be driven to the store or the bank etc
it isn't a car.
if a drive thru burger joint defeats it.
what's the point?

Looking forward to seeing the car in it's new dress with holes.....

Those holes look great! Is there a decent source for these if a guy doesn't have any? I like the lowered rides, but the ones that aren't air or adjustable are pretty pointless IMO. I want my 40 low, but drivable low. (If that is possible)

Thanx 40 deluxe,
They are making them repo, but grab yer wallet
Around 350 a set.
Had a few left over from a 56 I did a few years ago.
Used them on this 1 also about 7 years ago

Buick portholes are a nice, clean look. The single looks great, but I also like the staggered stack on the orange coupe, too. Lots of creative options with portholes!

Good call on the Buick portholes. I've been eyeing those up for a while.

jeeze
i got that 53 Buick special i been thinking of parting out.
am i going to start a build around some Buick holes?
stranger things have happened......................

That looks really nice!
