    Lt Gilligan, why do you need portholes on your 65?

    I have some in the bottom of this well.  Lean over and look down there I'm sure you'll see them...

    JC Whitney used to be the go-to for that kind of nonsense, wonder if they are still around.
    I went to their store in Chicago once on my way home from Oshkosh, real scary neighborhood.

    NOS 681.... I refuse to discuss your plan to generate forum discussion. 

    Rudi...  JC Whitney was purchased by an online retailer a decade ago.  The retail store you refer to at the triangle corner of State Street ("That Great Street" per Frank Sinatra) and Archer Ave is currently in a gentrified location.  Unless you have your hand in Bill Gates pocket, you can't afford to be there.  Now, a mile west is pretty much the way you remember it....

    Re: Fender port holes?

    To be honest, I don't know what port holes in the fender you could be asking about?  Unless this question is all in fun.

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

    Very interesting article Tim, reading it jogs my memory of the Warshawsky name and remembering their ads in magazines.
    Along with the bling they a lot of useful products such as mandrel bent tubing in various angles and radii. Still have some leftover bends from the headers I made for a Corvair powered scratch built fibreglass Boony-bug.
    IIRC they also had a lot of new V8-60 products such as 3 carb manifold set ups and aluminum heads.

    Re: Fender port holes?

    I was looking up historical topics and noticed Steve’s comment that no one has asked the question.😁

    That was probably the fastest response from Steve EVER.

    I would only add port holes if they were functional and for a purpose…not happening on this beauty.

    They are great when mounting remote-controlled machine guns!  Keeps the paint from getting burned........simple.

    At the Buzz the Gut car show yesterday, saw a beautiful 1962 Buick LeSabre.

    They look great on that car for sure.
