Need ideas for a fan shroud

72Dart360 said

I installed a summit universal rad in my 72 dart. Its 25in wide and 19in tall. I have a cooling issue at idle such as the temp will go up to 200, cruising down the road the temp is about 150. A shroud is definately a must.

After 3 misfits, I made my own.

2" wide hoop...welded on 4 brackets...16 guage steel...painted it satin black.

I'm really happy with it. With paint...around $20.00.

Just make the hoop 1/2" larger in dia than the fan so you get 1/4" clearance all around. Then weld on the brackets so the hoop clears the rad by 1/4".

Half of the fan depth so be exposed.

I think an aluminum one, brushed and clear coated would look really trick. But I can't weld alum. I can barely say it.
