Projects Louvers and lighting holes

I've had my hood and trunk lid louvered on my 30 Model A coupe. If I punched round holes in my visor would it look alright? I don't want louvers there.

by the way t's not the coupe in my avatar it's another.

 

I did it on my coupe and a customers as well, I lik'em

 

It will look just fine!
Heres my bosses car.

 

I consider them nifty.....

 

Just wondering if the louvers on the hood and lighting holes in the visor would look good together. I see louvered trunks and holes in the visors but no hoods on the cars shown. does anyone have pic of both on the car? Thanks

by the way both those cars pictured look wicked fast.

 

Damn...your bosses car is sick!

 

If your going to do the visor dimple die the holes, looks much better

 

More rigid as well.

But is that traditional..............



How do you dimple die the holes?

 

I think it will look just fine.. However I'm partial to louvers myself....

 

Here's the two of them

 

I think either is going to look good, but can you ever have too many louvers??

 

Charlie... why don't you just dimple die the hood and the visor too??

 

I think it would great, I like the holes and louvers both they would be fine together.

 

Chad, I've already had Harold louver the hood and deck lid. I was gong to drill the visor like my old coupe but don't know if louvers and holes would look good together.
By the way I have not forgot about the other visor. Alot of things been happening here. I'll pm ya later.


Can anyone tell me what tools you need to dimple the holes?

 

Don't worry about it Charlie!!! I think I got a visor figured out, I'm having the sheetmetal shop bend me something up tomorrow and I'll be seeing if it'll work.

Why not just have your visor louvered??

You need the Dimple dies from the Mitlerbros.com, they are pretty pricey so prepare yourself, and a buy a tube of prep-H before you check the website!!!

 

If you already have louvers in the hood and deck, that's how I would do the visor too. I would go an extra step and make the visor match the same pattern as the hood. 'Course, I would match the deck and hood too. I think holes, although I like them, would be one step too close to "too much goin' on" on the same car.

 

Agreed... I like when the louvers line up from piece to piece....

 

lighting - as a verb, it means to ignite, as a noun is describes equipment or methods of providing illumination

lightning - the flashes of electricity that commonly cause thunder

lightening - the removal of metal (or any other material) to reduce weight of an object

smartass- guys with nothing better to do than to exhibit their asinine penchant for their facility with the idiom of the realm.

sorry....sometimes I just can't help myself

as to the subject at hand, the round holes with the chamfered? pressed edges look best, although larger patches of sheet metal are definitely enhanced by a plethora of louvers

You work for Voodoo Larry?!

 

I usually like things to be parallel, but I never thought twice about mixing louvers & lightening holes.

 

Dimple dies are pretty easy to make if you have access to a lathe or know someone with one, Here are pics of the 2 halves of the tool.

 

Yes.
