Does the tub have steel bodywork, or is it fiberglass? I'm not familiar with hawk cars... cool project btw!
Matt, I've sent you a pm, regards Griff
Thanks Griff for putting me in touch with Mark - obviously a highly skilled guy. He said the solution would be to get a new tool made up to cut and fold the correct louver dimensions and then start again with fresh sheet aluminium. Whilst that will be a fairly expensive solution to make one set (anyone else interested in some?) it's likely to be my only option as I gather that the 'off the shelf' louver cutters currently available will not cut a slot wide enough - or with the original tapered profile. I s'pose doing that will mean that the panels end up less rigid (lots of original cars seem to have slightly 'wavy' front panels) but presumably wider gaps would aid cooling - which wouldn't be a bad thing.
A great lot and a nice job with Horn Button!
I like that
Congrats Guys!
