    I have a perfect louvered Merc hood , would like to trade for a stock hood in equal shape . If your set on your own custom pattern there's a Kiwi that owns the shop in Bakersfield where my cars at that can hook you up . Thanks Brian

    Speaking of louvering, I found one post where a Hamber made custom visegrips to remove the skin from the frame. Is there any tricks Or tools to it when the whole structure will be reused?

    I found a guy in so cal. But I believe the main cost is the removal of the skin if you don’t do it yourself. The to put it back on. The rest is about 3.00 a punch.

    Haven't heard much lately about Eric Vaughn but he did a lot of louvering, I think he is in Monrovia.

    Eric is in Monrovia. He did the louvers on my RPU. His dies are a direct copy of the dies Frank Kurtis used. Just don't be in a hurry.
