The stainless steel louver panel is done. I was able to give it a slight compound curve to fit the hood. I welded on a front and sides. The sides allow it to be opened or closed.
Before I could only bolt it on open or closed but I laser cut curved cut outs so it can be positioned at any spot in between and it does not need to be completely unbolted to change position. Right now I have it mounted with the back opened about 3/4".
I did not want a shiny stainless finish since I have some raw aluminum parts. I wire brushed it in one direction to give it a less than shiny but uniform appearance.
