Oil cooler shroud.

[Tony Radford]

Why didn't you guys tell me I was insane for wanting to install an oil cooler shroud? I ordered the Finishline box per suggestion (and against their recommendation). After a half a day of serious surgery to make it fit my car, I realized that my oil cooler was not the one that fits that box. So, I spent another several hours modifying the box to fit my oil cooler which of course resulted in the creation of a structure that hardly even resembled what I received from Finishline. A few trips to the Depot for tools and hardware, and to Ace for aluminum sheets, I fabricated and installed the various pieces. Since the aluminum was a bit thinner that I liked, I had to install a layer of galvanized steel underneath to make it rigid. Between the cost of materials, the Finishline box, shipping, tools for assembly (including shears and a Greenlee hole punch set) and the time spent destroying my garage and body (lots of lost blood due to numerous lacerations on both hands and arms), I could probably have paid Carrol Shelby to do it and come out ahead.

At least it's over and will probably look pretty good after I wipe all the blood stains off of the new parts.
