Art & Inspiration Just Louvers////////

Very hard to see but if you go to large size the tops of the front fenders have been louvered.

EDIT: from former owner @Roger O'Dell those are NOT lovers just paint.

...I think this is the Custom on the sales block...I like it Louvers or not...let's just say they blend in real good...

Thanks always for your continued support and participation @loudbang...

Yes it was sold at least once and I saw it on Ebay don't know if it was sold again.

 

...Really Low Slung Hotrod in a land of Genious...A great blend of celebrated Traditional Hotrod materials...very sharp looking Machine...

This I believe to be the work of Max Farrell

...Still around and looking pretty darn good at that...much more at link above...

This Hotrod like so many has has quite the journey and sported many faces and Owners with the current owner being Richard Noble

I have always thought the area just forward of the lower cowl could benefit with some metallic pan or shrouding to fill the existing void...which to me has an unfinished look...

...Hamber @Roadsir's Hotrod up for grabs has a long History as a Hotrod with the pic above being one of its periods of Excellence...I have to say Dayuuum that's cool...I mean if you were to define the Word Bitchen your witnessing it...Flames and all...wouldn't change a thing...

As happens with vintage history stuff evolves and Roadsir's current look respects much of its admirable history
Just incredible the journey this has had...



...Coincidentally I just posted another angle of this just the other day...but now I know a bit more about it...

You really captured the vintage soul with that racer Thunderbirdesq...Dry Lakes, Beach or Strip it's ready and I'll bet a lot of fun...Aluminum, Louvers and Hotrods...a winning combination every time...that full belly pan is most impressive...
​

 

...Here's a very similar channel with a treatment to the lower cowl to hood that I am again surprised wasn't undertaken with the one above but as we know through many evaluations and critiques of these vintage rides looks were not always at the forefront of the intended purpose...

This is identified as the Joe Colley 32...
