How much are Louvers where yer at???

We charge two bucks a hole, if stripprd on both sides. Yes, I'll give a HAMB discount, whats the goin price?.........OLDBEET

 

When I had these punched, the guy told me $3 bucks per hole, but 126 holes later, he charged me $96. That's 1.31 per.

 

Up here in the frozen north, there's an old lumberjack that does them for twenty five cents each. He uses a double bladed axe and I'm not so sure they look very good.

 

I GET THEM DONE HERE FOR $1.50 ea if its stripped on both sides. got an old guy let me use his press once but zig zag louvers look like crap! so i pay the 1.50 now

 

It's been about 10 years, but was $1 for 2", $2 for 3" and $3 for 4"

 

We went to different schools 126 holes for $96=75 cents a hole?

 

...yer math ain't so good...$96 divided by 126 louvers= .76 cents each...I got mine done by Doc Parsons here for $1 each.

...oldbeet, ya beat me to it...

 

Mine were .75 a hole.......I think I got a bulk discount



Before I found this guy two years ago, I had quotes up to $2.50 per.......

 

JEEEEZUS! PUNCHY is right! Here's a pic of jimmy2bottles visor we did yesterday.

 

I charge $1.50 per on clean metal. If I have to strip it we work out a side deal on that. On old paint sometimes guys just want holes. I might live long enough to pay for the machine but then again I like louvers, so it doesn't matter much.

There is a guy in spingfield ,Oh that does it for less that a dollar a louver

 

there 50 cents(who you no) to $3 here i know a place that does them for $1 and he can do round louvers or the traditional ones

 

Winfield charges $1 each.

i offered to do them for free if the car was left in primer.just bring the beer.no takers...usually charge 2.00 ea....boo

 

I charge 2.50 average depends on size (got 5 different sizes) and amount of
louvers the more the cheaper.

I usually charge $2.00 a punch , HAMB discount is $1.50, I have 9 different sizes and styles , 1/2'' up to 6'' and 3'' and 4'' square. Price is the same for all. I will have # 10 soon 3'' with widow peek.

 

Houston is a city of 6 million plus people and I know of only one guy. He charges $3.00 a pop. TP

 

We charge $2.00 a hole. If there are some layouts that require additional work, we go $3.00. Material must be bare on both sides.

Our policy is to not allow the owner to watch the operation. Once they figure out that we can punch 90 louvers an hour @ 2.00 per louver, all hell breaks loose!

 

here at BuglytoolS we have a spring special $1. a punch, been running it for two years now. getting rich? NO / having fun ? YES. we require the sheetmetal be stripped on both sides, it gums up the dies if not stripped. we can punch through an old patima but it's probably extra. gipsey

 

Our louver guy here, John Olay in Flint has been charging $1 a punch for years. He usually gives you a break if there are a lot to do . He charged me $150 for 186 louvers on my '32 decklid. The louvers are laser straight in both directions and when Brookville assembled the lid after John punched it they said it wasn't distorted at all. I bought the lid from them and had John louver it before they assembled it with the inner linner.

Beetle, I think you would do ok if you charged $1.50 a punch if the metal was clean on both sides. Seems like a fair price. Now that could be upped a little if it was a difficult piece. My 2 cents.

 

Next time I'm down there, I got a '42 Ford hood I need to spend about $160 on with you.

 

Man I'd love to have some louvers done.I'd like to get rid of some of the heat.I can afford the louvers but around here they want blood for a paint job!Dave

 

There's a guy out in KS( close to St Jo) that does 'em for 1.25. he knows his shit.

I do louvers for $1.00 a punch or trade if you have something I cant live without.I'll lay them out you sign off on it.I'll punch them bare or painted I dont care.PM

 

0.25 to 0.75 per...

 

I'm at 2.00 per hole, stripped both sides, with no setup fees. I have been at that rate for about four years now. That's actually a pretty good deal, because I spend allot more time on set up than I do punching.

 

$2.50-$3.00 per depending on the hood, wether it's stripped, how many holes. And it still comes in less than the shop rate time wise. It's not a fast process. I discount more if you're getting a bunch of punches.

 

just had my decklid done by chip (need louvers ?) and his work is excellent!
$2 a louver but worth it.
