Louvers!! Let's see some pix!!!

I love the look of louvers. But what does it take to make the decision to punch holes in a perfectly good panel? I would love to louver the hood on my 50' MERC, but can't bring myself to do it. (Maybe I'll just by a second hood and have my cake and eat it too)!

 

Your idea to find another hood is spot on. I did this and saved the og one for later if I ever get the urge. But as far as puting holes in a good panel- hey if it looks better to you go for it. But remember after the first one there is no turning back.


and on the truck

 

Check this baby out. Your right no turning back. But this car would not be near as sweet without the louvers.

 

My car had em when I bought it but it's one of the reasons I did buy it, I love em!

here're some old style louvers on my AV8.

 

These are the louvers on my side panel, notice the first three go in then there is a bubble then the rest go out. The bubble is for my altenator and the first three louvers provide cooling air. (I hope)

My buddy's 3 window.

 

Had these punched in the mid 70's, loved em then & and still do now.

 

You can't get better than a louvered 32' deck lid !

115 louvers done by Roy Eidman in Ma.

 

Heres my little pickup...I think theres something like 380 or so. All done at PMA Motrosports. The bed cover flips up to access my storage compartment.... The tailgate was an afterthought....the original one that I planned to use got "messed up" upon fitment... Im still not sure about that, it may be too much...we'll see what it looks like with paint...

Love louvers. The more the better.

Has anyone ever seen the gas tank on a Model A with louvers? I want to do it and have not seen it yet.
