I orderd the CFS radiator and a sheet of 1/8 aluminum to fab the fan shroud to be sent here to Cayman. I wanted to fab SOMETHING for it and I can just bring it with me when I go up for the truck.

Got the frame and mounts for the shroud done.

I still have to finish welding and profiling the the upper mounting tabs.

Thinking about plating one side of the lower mounting tabs for extra strength as well.

The sheet is getting cut to shape today.

Unfortunately the Derale fans don't reach for another 2 weeks so I have to wait until then to plasma out the holes for them. I ordered a rivnut gun and some metric rivnuts for attachment points for the fans to simplify installation.

2000cfm each, not so much worried about engine cooling as I am worried about the A/C

Since they are such high current fans I went with their PWM controller as well. I'm guessing they won't ever hit 100% duty cycle.
