Official Louver thread. Let's see what you got or like!

mj40's
That yellow coupe was one of the cars that made me want to buy my press when I first saw it in American Rodder in the late eighties or so... I've happily done several tops since!

 

Great Louvers! I would post my '34 coupe but someone already did
Here is my Model A roadster:

 

Innies, outies, no panel left untouched.

 

144 in total, when i had the car appraised a couple of years ago the appraiser was quoting me $4.50 each, but thats only canuck bucks!

 

I like the angled louvres.
Is that any harder to do?

 

The hood on my 49' Merc project...

 

114 louvers

 

Not really. It's all in the layout. The center line is the same for each louver and as straight louvers it's a matter of aligning them the same each time you punch.

 

He hasn't had it out for awhile and his grand kids talked him into putting it in the show. They call it grandpa's hot wheels car. Surprised he still has it. He doesn't keep anything very long.

 

wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do you do that ???????????/

 

here's mine....

 

These are on my '32 sedan and were done by Eric vaughn, I like his because of the history behind them.

 

My 1936 Ford pickup with 84 hood louvers...

 

Here's some nice work seen at LARS to make a Model A body look a little more complete when sitting on Model A rails.

 

Some on my RPU hood...

Hood on my 41 chevy coupe....

 

Man Neil, those look great!

 

In a Homer Simpson voice. Mmmmmm louvres

Picked a spare good bonnet for my car and saving now for the job. Top of my list on jobs over winter next to it being lowered. Not cheap by the time it's done, transported both ways and painted but something i really like, will help keep the car cool and look rather tasty.

 

196 punched by Rick McGregor.

 

Sweet looking ride UNCLECHET

 

Thank you! I've had this ol' car 10 years last month. I worked on it a lot the first couple of years and have just been driving it ever since. My wife and I just love it.

 

When i started this thread i had this truck I was building in mind.. Here's how the louvers turned out>...

 

Looks Bitchin, turned out great!!!

 

152 in my 49 Chevy hood.

 

Here's the trunk of my roadster. I am still undecided if I want to make the hood tops match.

 

Heres some inverted ones on an old Citreon hood i was given. I see two other pics of inverted ones in this thread.
I think i prefer the outies.
