I too enjoy viewing your models. I alsofind your articles very informative and helpful.
I have a question concerning Model A and B hood sides. Considering the amount of tedious sanding necessary (original plastic or resin aftermarket) in order to open the side louvers, do you know of a company offering a photo-etchreplacement with the louvers open? I would think the variations of full, and partially-louvered hot rods would make for a large product selection. The market exists in the scale auto community also, I believe.
People have suggested for years that there should be 1/25th scale louvers. It would take a very small louver punch and, no one has commercially provided louvers in scale.
