Meh, probably would help cooling i guess, but after the radiator upgrade and the major cooling system overhaul everything is very cool and actually runs cooler than the old setup with the shroud.

Plus,

I switched over to a SA style short radiator so i could mount the FMOC under the rad and my 84-85 FB radiator shroud no longer fits...

So i guess i just havent seen a need yet to find a SA style shroud.

Like i said, it stays ultra cool all the time, so i guess when i get around to it

These one's should work better. Keep in mind the hood still needs to be refinished, and painted.

started out like this (i was only going to swap the motor)

and then decided it wanted (needed) a facelift
after some prep work & 3 rattle cans of metalic grey(ext colour) and 1 red

with the fresh 12a streetport (same as sig pic)

dont want to do that again anytime soon!
