    i'd do it. i put ome in my 72 riv and they look great. i know its a buick but it fits the mild custom look in any car. i used 2inch exhaust pipe and flattened it slightly in a vise. then i cut it in a 45 degree angle. welded it up and put small chrome bullets in the middle.

    Always liked a few 1956 port holes in hoods. Just never got around to doing it. But I agree, with all of those fake glue on port holes it might look too cheesy!
    Maybe if I had an HHR I'd add some!;)
     
  4. The style of the car makes all the difference,,Gasser style it ain't gonna work,,cruiser custom,,oh yeah! HRP

    Well this is what I'm working with so far... Next project is to weld up the seam in the hood and get the ass end down about 6 inches.

    my vote is put em on the hood sides. but not the '56 ones. I'm talking 1950 vintage, wait...those were on the hood too!
