"Hmmmm.....Just thought about it...

I just got an idea today as I was looking at my truck. Instead of running the exhaust pipes off to the sides or running them all the way to the back(like I had originally planned). I was thinking of putting '54 to '56 Buick style portholes or 'ventiholes' on the sides of the bed just in front of the rear tires and running the exhaust pipe through slightly past the body because I plan on putting a flamethrower kit in the future. Any thoughts,ideas, complaints, criticism would be greatly welcome.

Re: "Hmmmm.....Just thought about it...

I have seen it done and if it is what you like...go for it.

I prefer the stock lines and vintage stance of the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks...I think they are timeless.

Post pictures if you do the modification.

If its what I'm thinking of that sounds pretty cool. You should have someone photoshop it and see what it looks like.

Thanks Woodwright!! I'll post a pic and see if there's anybody up for the task because I don't have photoshop. But I have a pretty good picture in my head(along with other stuff...)

If you don't have photoshop you can download Gimp for free. It is an opensource image editor that has most of the features of photoshop. They have a Windows, Apple, & Linux version.
