Truck looks amazing. The quality of the build is fantastic.

That's exactly what I had to do. The shroud ended up kind of flimsy, but I'm considering adding electric fans someday anyway. I have a wire stubbed in already, and a trinary switch for the a/c when I'm ready. I figure it'll clean up the engine compartment a bit more when I do.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm hoping for more progress in the next couple of days.
