Hand made fan shroud
Saw these for sale at summit and jegs for about $90 and see no need to pay that much for some sheet aluminum so I made this myself. Only cost me $20 and got it all from home depot, Dropped my engine temp 10 degrees

Re: Hand made fan shroud
I took this pic of this nice fan shroud for a mechanical fan at Goodguys last weekend. Definitely took some time and skill, but I think it looked good. Not trying to bash on your shroud BMSJaX yours looks good as well, just a couple different ideas. Just thought I'd post this one for inspiration

Re: Hand made fan shroud
I wish I had a tig welder and a brake and I would make some but I cant afford them. I made mine out of an old steel bed frame and sheet metal dont have it done yet but here is the frame work.
