'40 Ford louvered inner fenders
I've been building a '40 Ford Coupe for myself in my spare time. It came with a sbc adapted to a '39 trans. It will stay till I get the appropriate motor in it. A FORD of course. But in the mean time I would like to drive it and I have visions of it overheating so I decided I will louver the hood and make new inner fender panels and louver them.
The originals where in pretty sad shape. I laid some paper down and sketched the outline, Cut the paper pattern and transferred it on to a piece of metal and tipped the edges to match the original. Mounted them and trimmed some more then laid out the louvers and punched them. No shaping was involved all forming.

Nice work on the inner fender panels. 40 Fords have always been a favorite of mine.
