Hot Rods Louvers are finally finished.......

...time to move on to getting tuned up for the Spring events........

This was a real time consuming project and I am not sure I would tackle it again......but I am pleased with the final *look*........here goes:









It *can* be done....

Wow!!! Very cool looking Brucie! Do your fingers still work OK after all that work?
Max

 

You must have made it back home...nice work!

 

Nice... very cool

 

looks louv'rn cool Cuz'

 

Looks like it has always been there.

 

Coker Classic Blackwall Radials....7.50 x 16" Pricey, but worth it.......I ran bias plies for 6-7 years and hated them......

*you also have to run radial tubes inside them.....the whole set of four ran me $839 with the Alliance discount........but the ride is superb.....handles better, rolls smoother, and just feel safer.....

I'd highly recommend them......they even kinda look like bias plies....

Oh yea!!! Worth every bit of your time.Looks killer.

 

Yea, I want to do the same to my A coupe's deck lid. Totally cool dude!! Big time thumbs up and the wink of the eye seal of approval.

 

Really looks nice on your car.

 

Good job! You know it's worth it in the end... you can sleep now.

 

Ok, WTF are radial tubes? Different than normal tubes?

Louvers look good all done!

 

They Look Awesome - Well Worth All the Work!

That coupe of yours just oozes with traditional coolness...Let me know when I can stop by with my "A" deck lid...Great job! Great size and placement of the louvers as well....John

 

Many people wouldnt appreciate the time put into wet rubbing all those, well done!!

 

TMan....said: Ok, WTF are radial tubes? Different than normal tubes?

Coker said they required *radial type tubes*.....from their catalog:

I really don't know what is different about them, but they supposedly are different in construction.........I just do what I'm told :^)

Brucie, Those louvers look great ! P.S. I'm finally getting around to installing those pinstriped headlights I got from you a year and a half ago !!! Jim

 

So that explains where you've been ..... lol
Looks GREAT!

 

Falfa: Deal......I should be there about 8 AM if the plans go right.....see you then!

Jim: Good to hear from you......get those lights on and get cruisin'!

Lea....thanks for your kind comment.......guess you made it OK to B'Proof and back to VA?

nice! it looks real good.

 

Sorry if I haven't been keeping up with the threads here......Did you punch them yourself?
Or is there someone in South Jersey punching them? I get asked if there is anyone 'round here that does louvers all the time...enough to wish I had a press myself!

 

Sweeeet, I likes louvers. Nice job Brucie. Gary

 

They look great, nice job!

 

the louvers look really good!
i like how that car was made to have 39 tail lights!
