You'll have hours into fabricating something - which is fine if a custom, you're broke or just like fabbing your own, but for a DD I'm happy with mine and paintede you can't tell what its made of.

Photos of my installation (Apologies for the cell phone pic's):


Spacer that was necessary to get it to mount right. We also installed a shorter spacer behind the fan as my mechanic said the fan should only be "in" the shroud 1/4 to 1/2 the width of the fan blades. My fan now will suck a rag right out of your hand if you hold it in front of the radiator.


Hope this was of some help/interest, Dan
Dan,
How come I cant see any of your pics?
