Hello All,
Thank you for the positive comments.
Ian and Steve, I am interested to read that you both use similar methods. I have to admit I was actually unsure that I wanted consistency with these louvres, the period photographs show just how 'inconsistent' the car was in detail. If you look at the following picture of the original panel on the car, the rear louvre opening is narrow, the front one wide!

so I was more than pleased to discover that the louvres I have made for both sides of the car, have the same pronounced variation between the front and rear. It must be just the way the metal reacts to the size and shape of panel, slot and louvre.

Rob, you asked for a progress picture, which I will post once the system lets me, as it is now only displaying images upside down!
Regards, Mark.
