Did a mock up of what louvers on the side of my 54 hood would look like. Talking with the rod shop that will do the work, getting the alignment/positioning correct will be challenging but the location I show in in the attached pics is close to what I think will work well.

The mock up only shows nine louvers but the total count would be closer to 12-14.

What do you think of the look? Remember this forum is the Hot Rod hang out so if you are against body mods on these truck you may have taken a wrong turn somewhere.
