    The guy getting pushed in the chest is holding a ..... Graflex-branded cameras, released in 1898, was the Graflex camera, also known as the Graflex Reflex, or Graflex single lens reflex (SLR).

    Same camera we used on the State Police. Was a pain in the **** LOL. :confused:

    @Stogy The car is on the road. I laid out the louvers and friends help punch them.

    :rolleyes:...Hamber @the-rodster's remarkable journey in Hotrod is continuing. One of the latest additions is the steel top insert fabbed from a hood...not uncommon due to compound curves already existing in automotive sheetmetal.

    He didn't say how he did the Louvers in the insert but I suspect he used his hand and hammer method with the dies he made in his winning tech Thread a while back...

    Did this Healy a long time ago. Story on this one, fella brings the hood over and there's an outie dent towards the front of the hood, flip the hood over, huh? there's layout and previously mentioned outie dent is an attempted louver, huh? again. Customer had taken hood to another louver installer whose machine evidently didn't have enough poop to punch. "Metal is old and has become crystalized and too hard to punch" other louver guy tells customer. Huh? one more time, learn something new everyday! Proceed to punching and collect $$.

    :rolleyes:...This Hotrod...it's one of those I recall from my early days as a Newbie here...it just has a look that was rumbling around back in the day...ruff around the edges...yes just as many were...I also know this is a friend of @J.Ukrop's that has a shop where Joey is building and gleaning a heap of all things Hotrod to stoke the Vintage torch for many years to come...oh!!...and take cool pics to boot...

    :rolleyes:...Walking a mile in Vintage Hotrod/Custom shapes visions in beautiful ways...

    The work of Manuel Reyes...It would be incredible to see this mans body of work over the years...many times they're behind the scenes much like many builders...that is his 36, just a rolling cl*** act...an incredible balance of Simplicity, Black and Chrome and some reverse louvers which may in fact be based on the originals but de-trimmed...major wow factor happening that's for sure...

    There's a Thread trending on Manuel and one done a while back and I share the links as they do not disappoint...
