Louvers === Really GREAT Louvers

Man!!!
I'd hate to be the poor bastard doing all of that masking.

 

Nice stuff boys...

Here's a couple of pics of my louvers. Bill

I love this glass car, channeled, badass. Was this in Scottsdale last year?[/quote]

I don't know. It might have been. Jim Wise of Wise Guys Seats built the car, I just did the hood and the deck lid. It is finished now and was in the builders showcase at the Street rod Nats in Louisville 2007. It is all black, but for some reason I liked it better without paint and bare aluminum.

 

Cool old style louvers on the decklid.

 

Here's some crazy ones from the wine and cheese set...

Jim Jacobs and Gene Winfield, 1973. Note, hand pump press! Panels are for Jake's yellow 34 coupe.

 

Kev.....you're starting to make me think you must be an Aussie....

That is very WOW...

 

Not my door. Saw it in a shop on my NZ trip.

 

Is that the same one that was in Rod and Custom back in the '70s ?

 

There is some really nice work in these pics.

 

Very Cool

 

Wow, nice pics, althought I'd have thought someone'd have posted Dennis Varner's little old black track t by now.

 

this is almost like going to church you know the holly part

 

I see it's on a trailer, is the price the same as listed $0.50 a louver, when can you come over to SE PA and do louvers for me. I'll have some cold beer waiting!

 

Great pic's. I really like the one with Jim and Gene. History in the making.

 

original ford hood
I didn't make these. Alan and Angie Johnson did on a pullmax to resemble the factory side panels
the pullmax dies straightened out the hood tops. I had to stretch/hammer and dolly each individual louver to restore the hood top back to the original shape.
lots of tedious hammer work
the bottom of the hood side was stretched to fit the chassis and the original handles removed
zero filler was used on the hood

 

Super kool truck. Love the louvers and the exhaust. The plate puts a smile on my face

Mine were punched by the Adult Toy Factory in Las Cruces, NM. Great job, very pleased! Thanks, Bob.

 

I'm a Lover of Louvers.
