Made a fan shroud
#1
I got the idea from one of those Power Block show a while back when they made an air dam for an autocross truck. I made up a jig from some scrap wood, built the frame, and stretched a $2.50 fleece throw over it. This was my third attempt so I learned the jig and sewing the fleece in place worked best for me. Then I laid the fiberglass resin to it. Some sanding , a little bit of bondo to smooth it out , more sanding and a coat of paint and it's done.
I never really had overheating problems until they opened up the local airport for drag racing, then it got hot in the staging lanes. The radiator is a Summit universal fit so I was having trouble finding a shroud that I liked.

Thank you. Sometimes you just have to make it more than once to make it work though.
