    I run a waterjet at work, I could cut you out a perfect guide for laying out the louvers if you want. Just need a drawing and to figure out shipping from the states

    I was literally just thinking: Man, it would be sweet if there was a new Bennett's video right about now... lucky me I guess!
  • @dfusit
    True craftsman at work.
  • @wrstew1272
    You are a very precise artist with the visual outcome of your projects. Couldn’t in two lifetimes duplicate your metal abilities! Can’t figure out how you keep the doors open, but I guess you have that worked out. 😊Cheers Mate!
  • @JustinPaul1st
    Reckon your method of precision all makes sense when you look at the end results...Great work Jordan...
  • @joecioe8566
    Great layout makes for outstanding results.
  • @timferriss905
    Hello Jordan. Would be nice to see the panels on the car next. In my mind’s eye I see a great looking hot rod. With what I can see from the hood(bonnet). Cheers and best wishes.
  • @billcampana4328
    Jordan, That sure looks like work. You are an amazing inspiration. I am still designing, and working on my track roadster. Pictures to follow as you asked me for. I am almost 76 years old and so reenergized by you!
  • @daleking8529
    Nice job Jordan! Your layout makes the look perfect! Take care
  • @tomfortson5147
    Hey Jordan, You just did a phenomenal job on the louvers! Wow! Your attention to detail always pays off. Period.

    ❤ THAT HOOD IS TOTALLY COOL MAN 🎸 AND THE TRUNK I LIKE THE 7 ROWS 2. KEEPIN IT COOL AS ALWAYS MR.BENNETT ✌️😁👍🕶️🦘🦘
  • @peterrobins3708
    "Cos its about to look like a cheese grater after" Sorry, but that was hell funny...sadly cos it might some, a very few, cringe hahahaa You probably could undo louvres if you really want to, be a lot of work but you could & yet...never ever heard of anyone doing it. Some styles of louvres I like more than others, but don't recall seeing a car with louvres added that didn't look a lot better with them added. 2 thumbs up one applying so much precise planning to it. Nailed it

    11,263 mi is a bit far for a car show, I think my tires might wear out. 😉 Hope it is a big success.

    Are you thinking of being the "middle man" in selling some of Karl's equipment, I'm interested in the metal profiler ???
  • @toddbader6104
    Did you modify the male die of the louver set also?
