Thanks, Rick. I'm familiar with the hazards of louvers; we painted
our 100M (we did OK, not great).<br>

<div>The best way to find out who punches louvers in your area
is to go to a local hot rod show (when we can have them
again), find the guys with louvered cars and ask who did
them. Usually it's a hot rod shop. You should know the
louvers won't look like the ones that were done on the 100M,
the dies used to punch them were different than those used in
the US. Another thing to consider is the amount of work
prepping the louvers for paint takes. There's a lot of hand
sanding required and getting through the process without any
slashes on your fingers while trying to keep some of your
fingerprints intact is a struggle. Also, you'll need a good
painter as the paint sometimes runs around the ends of the
louvers. But if you like the look, it's all worth it in the
end.</div>

I gap my mostly bone stock BJ8 with Pertronix at 0.028" ... no
