Art & Inspiration Just Louvers////////

The 57 Chevy was my high school car 1971, the truck you referred to is a 66 Suburban, bought it in the early 90's, a long term project that sadly will need to find a new caretaker.

 

Been slowly working on media blasting this Austin Healey bonnet. Primer to keep it from flash rusting.

 

...Gorgeous...

...Hamber @48 Ragtop's longtime friend...he's had this 48 through so many eras and makeovers...he certainly has an eye for getting it right...

Happy Birthday 48...hope you had it out for a drive today...

...another shot from @48 Ragtop's album...nice strip ripper sporting angled hood ventilation...

​

 

crazy ,,, great work!

 

...Yes I agree @j hansen...crazy skills indeed... @red roadster whats the story on this roadster...looks to have a serious vintage inspired connection...

 

Very impresseing,,but i don't recognize the front end.

 

^^ never seen lever shocks mounted like that. Not much movement on radius rods that far back from axle but clean different design for show

 

Love it Red...More please...Lucky us...

You should start a Thread on it...pretty impressive all around...I like the connection to the Roaring Roadsters...

 

Welcome to the land of Aus...they have a way of pushing limits in a good way...I call it down under thunder...it may be showy but I'm sure it'll get tested/driven to the limit...I wonder if the bones are split...I'm thinking not...

 

Gee thanks. Not a 350, 350 9” car. Spring behind front axle, 1 1/4” channel body 610 louvres in pans and body. 181 Mercruiser with fuel injection and magneto.

 

It’s a ‘46 wishbone unsplit, spring behind a 5” drop axle.

...Hamber @NealinCA's shop truck...ready to haul...I guess it's a beater by another name but under the fresh outta the barn she's perty tight and sound...stance is spot on...the wooden box sides are fitting as well...

It would be very at home on the back 40 my way in NE Ontario...wish it was mine...

​

 

Red, look forward to more of your other louvered work...and seeing the Roadster when it's all together...because it's all louvered of course...

I may have jumped the gun on calling it a Roadster...is it that or a Coupe perhaps...

You join quite a number of very skilled Louversmiths here that continue to keep things cool both visually and physically...

 

These pix are from early in the build. So far I’m up to 610 louvres in the body and pans. Don’t want to over do it haha.
