How are these made? Presumably by cutting a slot and with male and female formers.

Anyone done sucessful diy ones.
One day I'm going to build a replica of this and the coachwork is worrying me already

But there must be more engineering based suppliers for raw materials.
I think I've seen advertised in practical Classics, possibly Frosts?

Locost, well 10 minutes to make out of scrap, cut a slot, line up and smack with a hammer. Rescued attachment louves stamper_small.JPG
