Max Power 74 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Nice creativity. I would have gone with a 24" radiator myself. If you are gonna stick with the 20", you should get those inserts that block airflow through that gap. That is air the needs to go through the radiator, not around it.

juit 34 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) hahahahaha whats more funny about it is that when I take it to mechanic shops they never notice thats is homemade when I tell them they put a DAQu face :001_huh: , they always say man I should put this to "any old 4x4 vehicle" the other day can I please take some pics to call that custumer ^ indeed, let us kno how she handles on temperature the needle never leaves the E from the gauge even ideling, without the shroud it was always on the 3/4 range locally a guy had a aluminum made for his bronco it was kinda cool but it was more difficult to make if I see his bronco again Ill post some pics maybe someone will like the boxxy shape Edited May 10, 2013 by juit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Power 74 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 that radiator came with the stang, If I ever change it Ill do what you reccomend In the meantime, so many people convert from 20" to 24" radiators, I bet a host pf people would send you those panels for free.
