It usually depends on what they hit.

Sherry, You should be proud of yourself! Good job!
As with any repairs or mechanical work done for the first time,
take your time, take breaks, and don't be afraid.
You may have already said you have one, but the factory service manual is a must when working on older cars. Keep up the good work!

Very few fans are centered with the radiator core. A LA V8 is a couple inches to one side and a slant 6 is a couple inches to the other side. Therefore the shrouds are different.
Bottom line, if the radiator isn't in the OEM position, the OEM shroud wouldn't work.

Boy, I've been there myself! Made up a few very unladylike words along the way of my resto too. Keep in mind that sometimes throwing things helps ... sometimes not. :-D

I LOVE IT! This really made me laugh! Especially the throwing things part!
Thanks Leanna!
