I would fix the slat.
Two pieces of wood, cut to fit and a couple clamps. Drink until you are well pickled.

Those look great man! I agree with taking the bend out. Maybe drop @95steedamustang a line and see what he would propose to remove or minimize the slight bend.
Buddy had an 84 with the louvers and I have always thought the older Foxes look spot on with them.

I’m just here to learn from an ole school body guy @General karthief
Definitely going have to read this over and add to his OCD
Yeah the bend is bugging me.....
Funny me having OCD, is that why I always check the front door is locked twice before expiring for the night?
I hated body work when I was young, painting was alright, kinda liked that. I grew up hearing the old say'n 'a good painter can cover for a poor bodyman', NOT TRUE..
I just wanna drive my junk...
There is also a certain young'n in the neighborhood that is sure his V6 n/a camaro is hot
.
We'll see.......
Wonder what the HP difference between painting or polishing the louvers/slats, they're good for about 5HP painted IIRC

Put a racey decal on them and you’re good for an additional 5 HP!Wonder what the HP difference between painting or polishing the louvers/slats, they're good for about 5HP painted IIRC
My car shoulda been making 1000 hp back in high school. (I liked my stickers).Put a racey decal on them and you’re good for an additional 5 HP!

It's still the same in HS. Aftermarket Exhaust is an automatic 400 HP.
Got a couple cans of SEM trim black.
Actually I scuffed the back with a black pad, what a pain in the fingers...!
You'll see when I post up the pics, I washed it, wiped it with lacquer thinner, hit it with a couple coats for that trim black aaannnnnnddd.....
Well, Kevin would
but it's the bottom so not really a high vision area and it can't look too good, I could have done better but again, it's the Junk Pyle.Now on to the visible side...wonder if there is any body that can lend me some primer and sand paper?
Ah come on....I attempted to log in on my fone and that damn authenticator bites me in the azz, yeah, I'll admit I'm a teck retard (yes I said it)
So you are saying this is the quality of work we should expect?
Thanks, slowly but moving forward, between the lawn and the tug boat eating up the Pyle budget, damn thing needs an alternator, battery and I suspect a fuel pump, piddly crap. Oh, forgot a brake booster, the boat has a bad vacuum leak. And a oil change and, and, and....
BUT I have rear window louvers and a tubular intake....life is good!!
Fake grass here in Nevada, you would crap your pants laughing when the wife vacuum s it.
