Does anyone have....

Post by mrsnicks »

I have played with the idea of louvres running along the curve of the hood on each side; and possibly somewhere on the fenders. My question is, does anyone have a louvre machine. I know it takes a special machine with special dies. Anyone have one, or know someone who does?

I wonder if an a/c type sheetmetal shop would have one since a lot of those duct-covers are louvred....

I used to know a guy here in Phoenix that had one,and he took his '37 to a car show but only had time to louvre one side of the hood before the show....Somebody asked why he only had one side of the hood louvred and he said "because it's got a six cylinder"...The guy said,'oh,...I see'....
