[cornfield customs]

[93blazer4dr]

did you make your own louver punch machine or what brand do you have??? id like to get one or build one. nice work

 

[cornfield customs]

i bought the louver die kit form lowbuck tools but had to re work everything to make it what i wanted. if i could go back i would have just built everything myself

 

[93blazer4dr]

[93blazer4dr]

are you the guy i talked to at pumkin run in ohio??? you no the tin man who passed away???

 

[93blazer4dr]

could you give me the measure ments on the dies??? or can you just buy them off of the net???

 

[cornfield customs]

yea i am sure you talked to me, bob (tin man)and me were good buddies.

you can get the dies off line through i re worked mine a lot to get good results that i was happy with. they were through low buck tools

 

[93blazer4dr]

ok thanks and yes i new tin man from the car show and he was a very nice and helpful guy. if you remember i was the one asking about a window frame for a 32 ford coupe haha i no its been awhile.

but ill look into low buck tools. i work in a sheet metal/machine shop so its easy for me to mod stuff and build stuff

been a while since i updated this thread so i thought i would throw up a few from the other day. under hood cover panels for an OT project. they were made with the bead roller out of 20 gauge sheet steel

 

[cornfield customs]

i have a had some questions asked about my bead rolling on some other forums, so i made a video to show how i made the last panels for the OT mustang project. here it is, let me know what you guys think.

Nice Video. Looks like an quilted bed sheet or diamond pattened seats in some of the older cars. Bet that`s a lot easier on a powered bead roller than on a hand cranked one like mine cause I always run stuff off the line!

over the past couple days i punched 136 louvers in a mustang hood, cut and dimpled 2in holes in a 31 model a visor, and made a transmission cover for a 49 chevy truck
