Drill a hole above the louvers with the tip of a 12 guage shotgun barrel barely peeking out!
I have one above my door bell button! Only my friends know it is fake, and even they step aside when ringing! Bill W.

I like your idea ! I'll be on the lookout for a trashed shotgun, to saw the barrel off.

In a 1969 issue of Model A News there was a photo of a hood lock from a Mr. Paul G. Wiening of Port Washington Wisc. I have a very poor copy of instructions and drawings for fabrication. I'm not sure it will reproduce,
