    I have some louvers

    I bought a Maverick Grabber a while back with the louvers. The first thing that I did was take them off. They are black and have all the pieces. They are missing the key that allows you to unlock the bottom and let them lift off to clean the glass, I will take some pictures for you if you want them. The person I bought the car from claimed that these were kinda rare. I would like to trade for parts.

    Hey Jason71

    Did you and Rudy work out something on the louvers or do you still have them? If he isn't going to take them I am interested. learaviator@yahoo.com

    Yea I bought them. A long time ago someone posted about a shop that would make them if they had a model to get dimensions from. Anyone remember where that was? I will take dimensions down and send them to the shop.

    rearwindow louvers

    Hi Rudy. If you can get me the dimensions and some pictures, my shop does a lot of aluminum work on our aircraft. I would like to see what it would take to make them.

    If you post your email I will send you the pics that were emailed to me. Once the louvers arrive I will take some more pics.

    I sent Steve H several sets of blueprints, (not profesional quality) not sure if he ever built them. There were some problems in shipping and I haven't heard from him since, he may not have even received them. I will rummage through my garage and see if I still have one of my photocopies if you want. All I ask is that you please not ask unless you are serious about building them. Here is a pic of what they look like.

    I have no way of building them. Perhaps somebody on the board has a connection. Maybe you could scan the blueprints and post them here for everyone ....

    Thanks - Dan

    Blueprints

    Hey Rudy, I never got the Blueprints. I did get some e-mailed pictures. I was wondering what happened to them.

    Hey dan I know if you pick up a copy of mustang&ford there is always a company listed in there that makes the front spoiler $45.00 I think.......and J.C. Whitney has them also about the same price.:)
