This is an old topic, please don't beat me up.
In the not too distant past there was a thread about front oil cooler installs (!)
It had pictures of various shrouds for center mounted front coolers.
There was one in particular that I'm looking for.
It was natural color fiberglass molded to guide the hot air out to the fenderwells rather than down through the floor. It had a very good functional appearance.
The idea and the work were beautiful.
Can someone find that picture ?
I tried to search but had no luck.
I think the car was orange......but not certain.
TIA
Rory

I can't believe the response that I've gotten here.
I was hoping to for a picture of an installation that I had seen only once.
Instead I got the original thread and complete details of "how to".....
from ten years ago !
Thank you guys.
Looks like I'll be splashin' some resin.
Hey Luke, as you know this job is on the car that I bought from you.
I'm finally giving it some long overdue attention.
....whenever you're in the area.
and thanks again for getting me to the thread.
Rory
