I need to remove the louvers on the lower hood panel on the car. I've been unable to find a source fof a direct fit on the rivets that hold them on. Does anyone out there know of a supplier for them?

Check with Max Merritt...they have rivet kits for 1935+ senior hood side louvers...not sure about 1932

When I first read your post I thought, what rivets ? then though about it for a second and realized that mine had been replaced at some point with small ss screws and nyloc nuts. No one will see them and they can be removed at some point in the future if needed. The door springs are available from Straight Eight or Twin Six and possibly Bruce Blevins.

They have quite a selection.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all
