I installed the shroud on my truck this evening, fit like a glove...

Now i've got to install the controllers and wire them up....

I'll shot some installed pics tomorrow evening....

 

Sorry, No pics tonight.... Wish I had a Garage... raining like hell here, all day long, all night and most of tommorrow....

I need to wire the controllers....

 

What do you mean by Wish you had a garage? I saw in the last pics you had a air conditioned shop/garage?.....
I think this is a case of the rich gettin richer,,, I mean the FAST getting FASTER!!! LOL... Looks Great, I want it now.... I think i'm gonna wait to 2008 though...

 

No garage, I have wanted to build one.... do have a workshop in the back yard with a few basic amenities... 220 wired with air comp, heat, a/c, cable tv, phone... works for me, just not big enough to drive anything in to work on it.....
just got a double carport in the spring and got the driveway paved about a month ago..... carport is nice, but hard to see under it as far as detailed work..... maybe i'll wire some lights under it soon, then I may have something going on.....

But nothing beats a Heated Garage in the winter....

 

Ok, done deal and here are the finial installed Pics....
Came out great I think, be hard pressed to tell the system is not factory..

 

That looks awsome!

 

Controllers mounted on a custom bracket that I made behind the pas. side headlight.....



one more i missed...

 

Well done! Nice finished product!

 

Really nice work! I tool your plans and am having a buddy fab one for me. I hope mine comes out as nice as yours.

 

Thanks Guys...... I'm really pleased with it, just as long as it cools good when summer gets here......

 

Hi.

Beautiful job !

Hope my woodshop special turns out as nicely ! I plan on running the loom to the fans from below so it won't be as visible.

(There's also this OEM trick of extra holes with rubber flaps. The reasoning is, while in motion air blows through those openings as well as the fan openings for a little extra flow. When the fans kick in, the flaps are sucked closed so there is no issue of affecting draw thru the rad. My T/A LT1 is configured this way.)

Very nicely done!

Do yourself a favor though and check the mount areas on both rad tanks periodically. Since you made yours from CRS, I'd be concerned about the weight causing stress cracks in the tank brackets.

Hey! Another advantage for marine grade plywood - being a laminated/crossgrain material, it's not prone to this - just to catching fire

Cheers

Will do Eric,
I don't think CRS 16Ga. is too much heaver than Alum... it was at 6.5 lbs, if out of Alum. would be 3.5 to 4.0 lbs I would guess... I wanted to have it fabed in Alum, but shop want 100.00 more for Alum, I could not see it....
anyway, I check it from time to time...

Thanks Eric for the drawings, this nice of a shroud would not have been possible without your help....

 

That looks awesome! And I bet the newly freed up space will make oil changes a snap!
