    Are they modified new Buick ones? I know some new Buicks have re-introduced their trademark ports.

    Not sure. Good luck

    Most of the ricer cars these days have them stuck on the front fenders like they were Buicks? 4 for Roadmasters, 3 for Specials

    The vents here aren't the stick on crap.They are real vents for air circulation.I've seen all the rice burner shit and that's what I'm staying away from.

    Some of the asshole comments on this thread are typical of some of you traditional, sometimes ratrod snobs. If it didn't come from a junkyard and be covered in rust, you slam it. Who cares who built it and how much work it took. Stick on shit indeed.This car is one of the coolest Dearborn Dueces I've seen. Try checkin it out in Street Rodder or don't you read that either!!!!!

    I agree with bigolds. We have a lot of open-mouth-before-thinking around here lately. Some people just want to bash cause it's easy to do on the internet.

    This site should be about BUILDING cars, not spewing crap.

    I didn't mean to stir the proverbial bucket...The vents I was asking about are some of the coolest ones I've seen. I'd do anything to have a set on my car.I can build an engine without a snag but when it comes to metal fabrication I'm lost.I know that when I ask a question here on the H.A.M.B. I always end up with a straight answer,sooner or later.No offense to the stick on stuff or the Jap cars.Thanks to those of you that headed me in the right direction.
    Happy Thanksgiving!
     
  16. wow! i have nothing against so called jap stuff. they make great "PARTS CARS" small alt.,mini-starters,compact ac/heater units... bottom line "custom is custom" happy thanksgiving!

    for a split second I was thinking alchemy was about to say what I've been thinking since these forums and bloggers and interweb gurus started reproducing themselves so quickly. the greatest thing about them is also the worst thing about them................
