Re: louvered cowl

i saw one of these back in the late 70's early 80's and i think it was a custom one off. that thread in the parts form of the solid fiberglass got the gray matter stirred up. so why not a lovered cowl in steel and you could paint 360o (no rust ). the search did'nt turn up much. 463

Re: louvered cowl

i think i might pick up one do up the metal work on it and head over to the man with the metal stamping tool and back to paint. one off and i get the look i want. 463 slow typer

Re: louvered cowl

Mar-K sells these panels that are made to weld over the indent on the tailgates... maybe you could weld that in place of the opening on the cowl?

Re: louvered cowl

Thats not the design I would go for, plus I was looking for the whole cowl ready to install. Ive been doing enough welding patches, Im about sick of it.

Here is my 2 cents worth, really easy to stick aluminum window screen under the grill, using whatever caulk. In my case, free, and I'm mechanically challenged.
