    Marty,
    Did you punch these yourself? If so, how about a picture of your louver press.

    Bruce, Here is my machine, the c-frame is 3" steel plate, the die plate swivels in 90 degree increments. The ram has a tag, Republic Aircraft. I build most of my hoods out of .063-3003 aluminum, but it will handle 18 guage steel. IMG_2889.JPG

    Probably not a lot of spring back with 3" plate. I just knew you would have something special.

    Quoted...
    JJ’s 32 is still one of my favorite 5-windows that SO-CAL built. I wonder what happened to this car? The 2 1/2 inch chop is the perfect amount on a 5-window.

    I just snagged picture in search but furthur research led to quote at site listed. Mick Jenkins may have painted it as it came up relative to photo as well. A beauty for sure.
