Is there a way to make a set of louvers for the AMT '62 Pontiac Catalina hood? 

If you were to punch them in metal, then fair them into the hood that should work.  I'm probably crazy enough to try making the hood from metal! ?

I have no doubt that you could sell these louvers. sell them in strips of varying lengths and let the buyer install them wherever they want.

Absolutely. Although limited to one size louver, a row of open, aligned, accurate louvers would be more than welcome. Make it a few parallel rows for something like a trunk lid, with extra material on all sides, and you will have many serious builders' attention.

Make a man some louvers, and he will have louvers for a model... ?

I could see them being something that would sell, but, it's not a time commitment I am willing to make. I really want to keep the time I spend modeling,  my own. 

I'm planning to buy some different sized chisels, however,  so that I can punch different sizes.
