    I will be needing some louvers punched in the Omaha Ne. area. I was told to try The Park Drive Garage - he says he isn't doing them anymore. Want my 62s hood done (but I'll probably get a better hood first) in the recesses and a center panel for my tailgate (I'll be replacing the stock one). Anybody know anybody?
    Thanks

    I can't help in Omaha proper, but could probably help with setting up shipping to and from here in Phx. Give me a call at 888.755.7759

    If you live in Bellevue and can get to Des Moines in just 80 min., you sure are hauling ass!! :)


    I'm pretty sure Larry Cain, here in Omaha, does louvers. Hot-rod Roadster recently had some done on the hood for his '40 coupe.
    His contact info does show up on whitepages.com - I'd rather not post any info here.

    Also, I'll see him at Bonneville next weekend and ask if he is still doing louvers.

    Larry Cain here in Omaha still does them and as Malcolm said he just did a really nice job on my 40 hood, theres also a guy by the name of Sonny Hugg that has a louver press in Omaha. The Body Shop in Grand Island is outta buissness but Gary Gerberding (the former owner) still has his press and is doing louvers out of his garage his # is 308-379-6451 Good luck. Gary

    call Larry Cain 402-731-7321 he lives in Bellevue he is the only one in Omaha that will do it. He did my deck lid six years ago we worked together at body shop and I knew he had a press and got him to start pressing louvers. Everyone else that has a press in Omaha won't use it and won't sale it to someone that will.

    Malcom, I saw your car going down Cass street a while back. If I wasn't on a route I'd have chased you down for a closer look - bitchin ride.
    I may count distance drives a little different than most - to me Omaha to Des Moines is from the last exit on the east edge of CB to exit 121 in West Des Moines bout 110 miles @ 75 or so.
