    Does anyone know of someone who can punch 1936 Ford original style louvers?

    I want louvers in my smooth '35 hood sides, but I don't want traditional louvers and I don't like the '35 sides. I'm a little surprised no one is offering new '36 sides, but my search so far has come up empty.

    Thanks
     
  2. don't know of any being made , you may be better off cutting them out of some `36 hood sides and welding them into your `35 hood

    That thought crossed my mind and I actually bought a pair of '36 sides, but I was advised against it because there would be too much distortion. I probably wouldn't trust my skills to do it, but I'm still unsure if it's wise to have someone else do it either.

    So still weighing the options.

    Thanks

    Would probably have to be done with a Pullmax type machine. Can you post a close up photo of the 36 louvers? I may be able to do them.
