    Or surrounding area?
    Think I really want to do that for a 1960 Studebaker Champ project I have.

    Sorry. I had louvers punched in Southern MD about 35 years ago. But there is no way I could remember anything about the guy who did it (in his garage), even though he's likely in his 90's by now.

  3. ....That may have been Chuck Kisamore or his friend Jim Rison. They did a lot of louvers way back then, including the 72 in the hood of my '40. The last I knew of Chuck he was living in North Carolina and sadly, Jim passed away quite a few years ago. thumbnail (14).jpg IMAGE1.JPG 2013-10-22 13.06.14 (1).jpg

  4. You might try contacting the Hot Rod Garage in Easton. If they don't do them, I'm pretty sure they would know who does.

    @HomemadeHardtop57 is near reading Pa. He did about 72 louvers in my V8 Corvair trunk lid. Good guy, nice work

    There's a guy (or 2) in Williamsport, PA that does. One of them is on the HAMB, but I can't remember his name
