I know my paint looks like shit lol but it's going to get a paint job eventually. Ignore the turbo badges as well it's not turbo yet.

LOL I was at the Pittsburgh Manheim Auction yesterday. Someone had put the Buick portholes on the front fenders of a Chrysler Pacifica. It looked odd.

Then there was a Buick T-Type that had been all moded. It died in ine waiting to go inside to the auction block. I was told that was where it died last week too. Well they get it restarted, and it is a loud powerful sounding turbo, but the driver has to do a lot of power braking and reving to keep it lit. It gets to the auction block and pops and dies with lots of smoky steam coming from under the hood. They pushed it outside.

I have to go with two, ever since I saw the old 80's flick "The Golden Child" with that beige Dodge 600 or Chrysler New Yorker (whatever it was) with the dual hood vents I was hooked. That's the movie that got me hooked to Turbo Dodges, before then I didn't even know they existed.

Thanks, nice Lebaron BTW. If you click my profile and view all of my posts you can see threads where I have various exterior/interior shots of my car. The ones in this thread are the most recent though.

Lol, my friend said the same thing when I showed him this picture. They are just sitting on the hood so I could get the dimensions traced for when I cut they holes. They will be recessed.
