I fabricated a radiator shroud to hide all the the unsightly AC dryer, hoses and the front of the grille area. The shroud is fiberglass molded over a wooded form. It has a nice flange that follows the front fender line and fits quite well. I painted it and gave it to my buddy to stripe. Came out pretty nice, eh? RapRap Loud Pipes Saves Lives!

My good friend Woody Fesler, a master craftsman, built a similar shroud of metal for my '52, mainly to hide the electric fan. It looks like a factory piece, but it ain't nearly so fancy as the one you have made. God's Peace to you. d Inliner #1450

We plan to have the '49 Studebaker pickup there, and hope to see everyone else. i need to write Alice a note. God's Peace to you. d Inliner #1450
