Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

[mongocanfly]

Well the plan for today was to paint interior,firewall,hood underside, inside doors,and all jams....and of course it decided to rain today....so that will have to wait...
So back to the radio box....I wanted to do some louvers on the bottomside...so I made me a louver maker (sorta)...i tried it in the press but that didnt work out so well....so after a practice run on a scrap piece i decided to just make some slits with a cutoff disc and just tap them in with a hammer...turned out decent for my 1st ever homemade louvers....and a pic of the front panel.....I'll sandblast it and do a little filler work and primer....I think it'll be a decent replica of a original...
