Local sheet metal guy (good dude, but busy with his day job) designed and built this shroud (first one) for my stock 19" radiator in the '61 Lancer with auto trans cooler in the stock radiator.

My fan is 17" (I think the original steel fan is 16", so stock fan will work, too.)

Mounts to the 4 radiator bolts. Top and bottom straps make for easy removal.

Dramatically increased air flow through my A/C condenser and radiator.

Lowered hot day (heat index 100+) post-highway/idle-in-traffic engine temp by 6-10 degrees

He gave me his email address for anyone interested in having him build another like it (since he has the plans). I cannot commit him to any other size shroud.

Ultimate test this week.

19" stock radiator
Heat index: 148 degrees
10 minute idle in gear
A/C on

(Most of your cars run much cooler, but not many of your cars are running A/C with a stock, 1961 radiator and cooling system in these conditions = apples vs oranges) IJS ;)
