I don’t see how it’s a joke. I think someone just got a louver punch and decided to try it out.

“When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail..” or some such.

louvers take much more time than nails.

Gotta vent the overflow of cool to the atmosphere. Otherwise a concentration that high will spontaneously combust.

Not when you have a louver punch but not a hammer.

there are a few companies that make reproduction steel bodies, and replacement panels, for the model a(32 ford) coupe, and i have seen some of their displays, at old car shows. they have pretty well every panel that you can think of, stamped new, some are even offered with louvers. i would think that this is just a display of their work...........

did you manage to smuggle out a cars worth of panels in your lunchbox?........

no but I can’t pretend like I didnt think about it. I think all the panels were stamped in poland and came into the shop stacked high on pallets. it was really nice welding new steel together compared to rusty crap.

wow, polish 32 fords. it is always nice to not be sitting there trying to decide HOW you are going to mend/straighten/fix 80 year old panels, AFTER you have finally dug down past all the layers of paint and bondo. its amazing what can pass for “all steel original sheetmetal car”.....

how did you like the fit/quality of the panels? they interchange with the old stuff halfway decent?

I have never dealt with the old stuff at least on a ford roadster. The bodies we built were all new.
