Sick and tired of louvers
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) roadsterWhen I get to where I was goin, I forgot why I went there>

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.

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?a hot rod is whatever i decide it is.

Looking forward to seeing the car in it's new dress with holes.....I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

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)

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!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

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