    So I have been trying to find a donor car the same Color as mine, to rob the original paint hood and fenders off of. One reason is i dont wont to paint the car second my drivers fender had been pained and didnt match third was I wanted a hood too louver, and once again not paint. Here are some shot of the hood I got back from JJ Beaver here in the DFW area, He did a smokin job.

    How did you keep the paint from chipping and cracking while punching the louvers?

    That is pure bitchin'.

    I was dreaming what it would look like to punch louvers in my wagon's hood, now I really want to. I have a lot to before I can get to worrying about aesthetics though.
