Re: My 63 Chevy C10 project

You can buy reproduction '63-'66 fan shrouds, but they aren't cheap. Once in a while used ones show up in the classifieds here on the forum but they don't last long.

If you went with the '60-'62 metal shroud, I think you will have to change to the '60-'62 V8 radiator.

Or if you can't find one just find a barrel or drum and cut a section out of it lol.

Lol I don't know about that... I may have to borrow one as a mold and make my own composit shroud. Would be neat to make a carbon fiber one. That thing would be stout! I've made a few carbon fiber funnels and stuff but that's the extent of it lol but the resin shroud I can handle if it came down to that

Re: My 63 Chevy C10 project

If you have experience with resin and mat, etc. it really isn't that difficult to make up your own shroud if you have the time. I used to have a link saved to a fiberglass forum that showed a step by step on making a fan shroud, but that forum is gone now.

Yeah. I might give it a shot. When is the swap meet? And where?
