I don't know. Do they flash in sync with your stereo like the light kits we all had in the 70's? That would be cool. A little Foghat on the stereo and your fenders keeping time. :cool:

IMO, no. I feel this is a good match on big old Buick.

Our cars may benifit of, if you insist on adding something, Thrush side pipes.

Now that's a million dollar idea!!! Make it, patent it, sell it, and retire.

The sad thing is, if I looked, I probably still have a schematic or even an old control board laying around. I built my own because the ones you could buy weren't big enough to suit me.

another sad moment is I used to DJ for weddings and stuff. I have boards that used to power a 70's light show for dancing..... Sigh......... Lights went to the music...

Arlie,
Portholes? Only if you add Corvette door handles, to finish out that "GM look". LOL!

Amy--get a good look at Mike's "before" shot., and you won't feel so bad about your engine scattered all over your garage floor. What Mike did to restore his CS to Gold Award status is a true miracle.

Looks like we're in for a LONG message board winter...

Hate to bust your bubble but....

Hi Arlie,

IMO those port holes just doesn't compliment your beautiful jewel. I wouldn't even think of doing it. I must say it was a wonderful sight for sore eyes that day you pulled into the drive way to visit your mother and father in law. I had lots of fun photographing your work of art. Keep that car beautiful and I'd strongly suggest you wouldn't put those port holes on it. It's just unnatural. If you did, sure wish for the sake of your car to put it back to the way it was.
