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
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
Measure the vents opening on your cowl and cut the metal to fit, take it have it stamped then weld it in place and have it painted.

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.
