While I can't quote an average price, my current price is 2.25 per louver. I don't charge a set up fee. either.
Hey George, I have on loose out back that i can measure for you in the morning. You know me though... If I remember. If you don't hear back from...
Man, out at Good Guys Scottsdale today in my 'Bucket, and there were HEARDS of them wandering around. Might just be a regional thing, but i notice...
Dan Oaks. He built it, sold to another guy who's name is not in my brain right now, who traded it to Dan Woods for the Milk Truck.
Love that car HRP! What was the build thread called? I was just searching for it when I it your thread and there it is!
So, I talked to Ronnie today. That picture of him with Chauvin's nose car, was shot in Chauvin's front yard in January of '65, at about 13th and...
Yup, I should see Ronnie yet this afternoon...
The louvers I used in Jeem's truck are my 2 1/2" die. I tell you what, it's kinda hard to tell you how to make this work on a public forum. My...
Unfortunately, while a '40-'41 nose will physically bolt up to the cab of your truck, the frame rails and parallel leaf springs won't let that...
For reference, a Merc nose.... Also, we have a good buy and sell group for these trucks going on facebook, 1942-1947 Ford Trucks aka Jail bars....
I happen to love these dumb things for just being a shade "ugly"... I have yet to see one modified that looked better than stock. Have you...
Bump-i-licious
Gotta get over to Ronnie's on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll bring my computer and ask. He did tell me of Chauvin taking the car over to the...
Your semi secret agenda is 100% safe with me! I tried the same a couple years ago with mixed results.
Got it! My answer was way over simplified, but remains the same. I literally laid the pattern out on both the top side and bottom side, in mirror...
...And my biggest pain in the rear, Dino's panel. [ATTACH]
Heck, for that matter, did I ever do a picture of the hood for Jeem's trucklet? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I didn't add Jeem's tailgate for his pickup to the mix when i finished it a month or so ago... [ATTACH]
Yup, two punches and some very careful measurement! I did similar for a windage tray for the Blake family Bonneville Buick a couple of years ago....
Bump-i-ficado
So, ya, I got the car back together this weekend! We did the Buick drums on F-2 backing plates, converted those from single plane operation to...
Throw away the Monroe catalog, and hit any foreign auto parts store and pick up a pair of pre-65 VW bug Link Pin front shocks. The cheaper the...
NOPE! The business coupe is longer to compensate for the shorter door, and the deluxe coupe shorter.
Hey gang, I found a little nicer turtle deck for my full fendered project, so I have to find a new home for this one. Dented and some cracks,...
I rather highly disagree.... All 6'1" and 190lbs of me. It's all in the setup of the seat and steering column. Hell, I've done 400 mile days in...
The most I have ever put into any single hood. Dino's '65 Chevy panel.... [ATTACH]
POST! Always POST! Lighter, stiffer, better for going fast. Hardtops are customs, and customs make almost no sense to me.
So, where do you do louvers on a T-Bucket? [ATTACH]
My bashful beater waiting to pull out o a run a couple weeks ago. [ATTACH]
Just Recently got to see one of my older patterns finished and painted. Kinda nice to see after about 15 years in primer. My typical rayed pattern...
