fan shroud

[Austexican]

Does anybody make a fan shroud for the Daytona Coupe? Mine started to boil over with the fan running while idling in the driveway as I was working on it. Texas heat is not to be trifled with!

Probably not hard to make but I bought the Roadster Breeze shroud and made it fit our Rad. I just cut it, slide one piece inside the other and riveted it back together. You can't see the rivets when installed because they are at the bottom. You can see the nice aluminum welds at the top corners. While you have the rad out consider adding a drain plug to the bottom of the rad.

A shroud seems like a really easy modification. You could do it in aluminum or plastic. You could even provide spring loaded slats in the shroud that opened outside the diameter of the fan. The slats would open at a specified air pressure (60 mph for a guesstimate) and that would reduce the drag at higher speeds. At parking lot speeds you would be drawing all of your air through the fan, but at higher speeds the shroud would not restrict the flow.
