Anyone? Or can/would anyone punch a couple of panels that I can cut-n-paste into my hood? b-t-w; in the hamb-o-dex there are two places in Canada and need louvers in Phoenix. Don't know how many hoops would have to be jumped through to ship a hood to Canada and back, but I'm guessing cost would be prohibitive. and need louvers hasn't been on here since May of 2017.
I think there is someone down here in SWMO. I need to phone a friend though, as I cant remember the name.
Look up "WE NEED A WHO DOES LOUVERS THREAD" Many listed there. I do them in Green Mountain Iowa which is 40 miles east of Ames and 65 miles NE of Des Moines.
I met a guy that's on here from the Quad Cities, IA area that said he did it but I don't remember his name or his screen name. Gary
I will attest to John Worden's excellent work, Atch. All you have to do is get on US 63 and head north. It would be about 250 miles from Columbia.

The best louver man in the civilized world is Eric Vaughn in Monrovia, California USA. He made his own dies and punched them on so many cars that appeared in Hot Rod Magazine, Rod and Custom, and others. He charges by the louver. You must strip where the louvers go, both sides, and give some indication of where they go. Used to be you could send stuff by bus. No idea what is up, now. I figure you ask to pick something up, repackage it, and send it back would be negotiable between the parties involved. I won't post his number because I have a hood I want done when I find a perfect example. Good luck. I lived out there nearly thirty years, all I miss is the friends I made.
Oh just dawned on me Howard would likely be at the drags if you wanted to talk to him. 32-4 pickup, grey with his name on tithe trucks side boards above the bed. Is normally parked with Swander at events. Don’t know if I have a photo handy I’ll look.
