Nice work! I always wondered how guys were getting those big circles cut in sheet metal by hand and to have it look perfect.Ryan

Installed the shroud, fired the motor. No smoke test needed, can feel the air flow draw all thru the radiator surface a big improvement. Even feel the air at the face of the firewall.
Naturally had to road test, the temp is now very stable. No big swings. With the weather cooler the climb from cold to running is smooth. Comes to temp and just hangs right there... this was a good project and turned out very well.
The car likes it !
