Send me your practice pieces. I'll find something to do with them.

You should see the scrap pile... :LOL:

Does relieving the tooling effect the dies for use on flat surfaces?

Rich, I don't think I'm that close to affect it, but then I haven't tried it yet either. :fingerscrossed:

Awesome work. I had a '72 Chevy pickup with louvers everywhere, and always wondered how the builder did it.

Jack, if all your louvers were of the same size, that would have been a single punch per louver rather than a reciprocating machine like we used..
Finished the driver's side inner fender this morning..

Now to get them back to Cody so he can do some more re-assembly..

After finishing the louvers this morning, we turned our attention back to the wagon. We started installing the brake lines and found the "kit" the owner had purchased was far from a direct fit. here's the booster and master cylinder we're using...

As the kit had no lines to fit a 9" rear, we used a stick of stainless tubing that was left over from the Fairlane job and bent our own.

Thanks Rich! Well most small jobs I do like this you never see the part installed (like the Studebaker dash parts) so I was happy to see Cody post up some pictures this morning. Here's a shot of the passenger side installed.. It was nice to take on a challenge like this and see it actually work.. :LOL:
