What was wrong with the old one? I think I would've just painted over the mural of houses, trees and light pole on the old one.

[Carnut]

Old one doesn't have enough holes in it.

[chimp koose]

off to the press? A little ventilation perhaps ?

I'm happy to see this.

[idrivejunk]

Me, too. I was thinking Continental kit.

Me, too. I was thinking Continental kit.

Naw, Continental Kits are for those custom car guys over there, I'm a Hot Rodder.

You're a louver lover, I can see that. Learn me something, is the big hole so the press can get at it? I never messed with those 'cause I'm a not rodder. Didn't mean to say the k word, that was a slip. I reckon you'll show us how, thanks for picturing it. What will you do with the move over people are racing thing?

[Carnut]

Big cutout helps eliminate welds in area where louvers would be after filling hand hold area and upper keyhole. Louver Punches don't like welds. One big piece of metal put back in for louvers with welds around outside edges.

Real Hot Rods have louvers.

[idrivejunk]

Ah, thanks. That will be real roddy. Juicy coupe pic.

[Carnut]

Work continues, feels like a 16yr kid getting work done on his first Hot Rod.

Got the keylock rekeyed for my current key



Welding in the patch panel, oh, the patch panel is made from a portion of a 1957 Ford F100 Hood.











Just about ready to head for the louver press



Oh yeah, the obligatory foot in pic.

Oh, I have been remiss in mentioning all the body work is being performed by my friend in the plaid shirt, Roger Mingle aka t-vicky

[Carnut]

Oh that 40 Chevy that shows up in this pic is t-vicky's  and it is forsale.
