Yes, I needed to walk away for a bit. I'm not looking forward to getting back there, but I'll get it done soon enough.

With the move to the flat upper radiator support for the taller radiator, why not the fan shroud for the taller opening?
I considered using the big block/diesel shroud. I looked at pics of them and didnt care for the height. I felt it would over power the motor that I'm trying to show off. Combine that with the knowledge of the more you change, the more you have to change.

I was astounded at the cost to recore a copper tank. I can buy three new ones for the same price. I want a big fan of the plastic and aluminum radiators, but thats all they are using in new cars and trucks for the last decade (or more) so I my as well get in this new millennium before its over.
