Hot Rods Let's see some scoop's, louver's and bubbled hoods

And the louvers in the new hood I put on my coupe. That's all I got for now....

 

Ak Miller seemed to like mail boxes. I'm into a little smoother......

 

Hood bubble AND louvers

 

1929 Biggs Body A cabriolet

 

I'm always super interested in checking out the layout of OLD louvered hoods. They were often following the lines of the hood..not simply north, south.

I thought I had more pics...might have been on my last phone. I've also seen where they weren't solid rows of louvers...maybe 5 or so...then a space..and another 5...and so on. That kind of layout to me looks more primitive and really grabs my attention.

 

Picture from about 50 years ago. Was running C Gas. Had a 727 from Fairbanks behind a big block. Ran good. It's the car in my avatar.

 

I can't take credit for the body work, he made some relief cuts the get it to follow the curve.
