As the title says. Please post pics of your Upper Radiator Support/Shroud. I am going to fab one up, but wanted to see some pictures before I start.

I don't have pictures of it painted. I painted it same color as the engine bay.

Red406 that looks sweet! What radiator is that? Can you explain the details on the support? Is it aluminum, what gauge? How did you make it?

Heres mine. Simple, ugly, but it works. Once I get better at TIG welding aluminum, I'm going to make a little bit longer one out of aluminum and polish it.

Thanks. That radiator is a BeCool with Spal fans.

I made a template out of some scrap sheet metal, then I took it to the local tin shop. From there I told him what length and he bent it using a brake. I think it is 20 ga steel.
