    I hate introduction posts.... Really, I do. (DUW)

    Seriously. I hate this. I never have a clue as to what to type or how to be whimsical or even if I spelled whimsical correctly. (Thank GOD for spell check.) The good thing is I recognize many of the names in the Memberlist. Or at least I hope that is a good thing..... The others, I hope to get to know. For those that have seen this on other forums I apologize for the duplication.

    Long story short. I punch louvered panels and fenders and was fortunate enough to meet up with Chris, cjlmlml. He turned me on to this forum and suggested that I post up my wares. So, here they are.

    Sample in aluminum panels.
    Length can be as long as the fender will allow or as short as deemed necessary. Width could be as little as 4.5" wide. These are 6". Fit Fox through '04 Mustang for sure. (Fox and longer louvers may need a bit of trimming on the sides.)


    On a car you may recognize.... (Matt's GT.)


    Samples directly in the fender.

    Fox


    Early SN95


    New Edge SN95


    The machine.
    10k psi 110v foot operated hydraulic pump tied to a 10 ton Porto-Power ram. Assumed to be built by Smiley's in Kennedale Tx circa 1985.


    Dressed.


    [Edit:Include pricing.]
    Pricing.
    • Aluminum louvers pictured. $100/pair
    • AICMCTexas.com Price $75/pair.
    • AICMCTexas.com + Military (Past or present) - $50/pair.
      (I won't ask for military proof as I truly believe there is a special place in hell for folks who lie about that stuff.)
    • All prices include shipping for just the aluminum panels. (AICMCTexas.com members only.)
    • Louvers punched directly into the fender - $25 per fender. You prep the surface. Must be BARE metal.
      Fender prep'n fee $25 per fender. (I'll do it, I just don't want to. )


    That's about as good as I can do. I'm not trying to make a living with this stuff. Just have fun making things and really enjoy racing. Sadly, I have to live vicariously through you guys for the time being.

    Thanks for the invitation Chris. I really do appreciate it. Also, send me the dimensions of that hole in your hood. :twisted:

    LOL Adam. Saw my daughter watching your kid on Disney the other day. I asked her who she liked the best and she point to Seth. (I think that's right, IIRC.) I asked her why and she blushed and said "He's cute." You keep that little bastard out there in LA LA land. Oh, and yes, I'm like the kid brother trying to hang out w/ the cool kids....

    Thanks Costas.

    Also, I've updated the initial post. I hope ya'll don't mind. I've had some questions on pricing and figured I'd just answer them all at once.
    To any Armed Forces personnel, past or present. THANK YOU!

    Thanks Al. I've tried to develop some thing for the F-Body guys but for the life of me I can't see you guys riveting these things on sideways on the fender. Same problem w/ the 05+ Mustangs. No upper fender surface area, to speak of. I'm open to suggestions. :twisted:
