nice job on the louvers,...he's referring to the hood louvers being flip'd side for side, this is the way the designers wanted them to look, the design for the hood louvers was ok'd and signed upside down and went into production that way....here's how GM made em....definitely upside down.
me either. Now lets have a huge hamb blow-up over whether they should be flipped or not. I think I ike the way they were supposed to be. Thanks, Rustyl
Measured, then measured again, taped one side around the louvers and above the handle. Cut With A High Speed wheel. Then put it on the other side and traced the cut, allowing for cutting wheel thickness and then cut that side. Went pretty smoth
...I've always liked 37 Chevs, but those hood side louvers are definitely upside down....the louvers were sposed to angle from the top towards the rear to mimmick the hash marks on the front edge of the hood embossing.
I think that's a made up story. Do you really think Chevrolet would continue to produce them upside down once they noticed? They didn't produce the few hundred thousand hood sides overnight. There is a standard to blueprints / design documents , even in 1937, that wouldn't just been upside down when it was signed. It's not like it would have been drawn on a napkin from the break room.
