Okay ... that's neat.
The next plane will be chopped and channelled, lowered and louvered ...

I have used similar louvers on my electric stunter. I have a homemade punch that makes 1" wide louvers of any length. I use soft aluminum from offset printing plates.

Can you be more specific, John? How do you make these? Especially that belly vent. That is very cool.

Randy, That "belly vent" is actually on the top and is made from strips of 1/32" plywood slotted halfway thru with a Dremel cutoff disc. They are pretty easy to make either straight or curved. Credit Keith Trostle with the idea.
