Making A Fan Shroud - 1937 Rat Rod Build - Update 69

[@Dadratrod]

Use that piece that would look cool

[@newdayyesterday]

Yeah agree with most of the previous posts, try the pre cut profiled side door piece first, it looks really nice and maintains a little more originality. If it does not work you can always fabricate another piece.

I dig fitting the original pieces on the sides! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@DrShankenstein]

A lot of people look at rat rods and think they're just junk pieces of metal thrown together. They have no idea the amount of work and measuring and what have you that goes into it. Great job as always! And thanks for posting this video. By the way I think you should go with the original piece there on the front. I like the look of it

[@62_C10]

Use it. Good job on your shroud

[@shanedebarra4986]

Only recently found your channel, loving it 😎👍 ... great inspiration and just good old entertainment 👍

[@rickbarger5161]

Pretty cool shroud I'm needing to build one probably this weekend

[@streetkd08]

Use that piece. As soon as you held it up there it looked pretty sweet. Just needs some work and look awesome.

[@Chevyv8man1]

She's looking great and nice job on the shroud. I'd use that piece except I don't really like the way it comes to a point on the bottom. How about having the bottom rounded to give it a more smooth ending. Later

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good. Use it👍👍🇨🇱

[@sharonlemay6507]

The side piece looks killer to me.

[@hankpugh4980]

Shroud looks and fits great. I kinda like the side piece. Hood needs something back there to give it a finished look.

[@fivestar8337]

Came out great but man that fan is loud! It looks like your tunnel ram top could be on backwards. Usually angled the other way to keep the carbs level. Use what you original parts you can.

[@richardbrady2818]

Go with it.

[@JustinPaul1st]

Fabulous build on the cowling 👍👍👍Just an idea for the hood how's about using the remainder of the original hood and fit it above the stacks and step it down with a ram air scoop type of effect so the top and bottom kinda overlap and you can mesh it up. As for the side panel I say keep it with the trim flowing through to the back 👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@number100]

Nice fan shroud. Again, I really like the rivets. I need to make one for my truck. It didn't have one originally. Like others have said, you should use the original piece for that hood section. It will flow with everything perfectly and look like it should.

[@davidlester6092]

Looking good!!!

[@robertbrent5938]

Hi, Robert here, I wanna ask you a question, I see you like using rivets, they look cool, better than, the welding, but do they strengthen the the part more? I must admit, I do like the look, never would have thought of it myself. Keep up the good work, as I like you explaining things out as you do them, an not putting it all to just music, like most others do. I do like it when ones, more experienced than me, likes to talk, explain things out, I do like the old school stuff, an videos longer than 10/15 minutes.

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

Hey Robert thanks for watching. I actually think welding would be stronger but the rivets are good to be more than strong enough.

[@tomwilkinson2184]

I would use the old piece and it will work!!

[@BHbrewing]

Use the piece you showed. Looks cool

[@robj2704]

Rivet Rod.

[@jeremysawyer1578]

Use that piece I think it will look good.

[@hermyherm365]

Use that piece with a twist of you maybe add some sheet metal with the ribets

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Use the side piece from the car but add a piece to it to bring it on down

[@howardhall67]

Use the piece of the hood Looks good What brand is your metal shear?

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

harbor freight

[@dans9228]

Looks great! How do you prevent the sheet metal from rusting? Thanks.

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

I'm either going to oil it or clear coat.

[@dans9228]

@@BrokeBastardGarage Thanks!

[@jimhartland1939]

Boiled linseed oil works well

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Use the peice from car. Each section of old part that is reused makes it moe better.

[@HardCoreFab]

Use the side piece!

[@shotsrodder]

I would use the original piece and blend it in 🤔

[@mtpocketbuilds4286]

Use the side piece but extend it all the way down to the frame,,, like the original hood. Just my opinion

[@terrykelsay6260]

Use the peace you cut

[@tinysgarage2347]

Use what original pcs you can

[@factoryratgarage]

Incorporate the old piece.

[@oliverroedel1111]

"use this" first, if it doesn´t looks good make a new one
