Looks good, Gary! I couldn't help but notice though that the fan
already has a shroud built-in. As far as a finished look goes, seeing
that you don't need a shroud (and adding another wouldn't actually do
anything functionality-wise), if it were possible to move the fan up
a bit to make it level with the top of the radiator, that would probably
finish it off nicely. From what I can see in the photos anyway, its
probably just that bit of radiator peeking through at the top which is
giving it the unfinished look. If its possible to move the fan up,
that gap will be down at the bottom where it probably isn't visible,
and as a bonus, the fan would pick up that top section of the radiator
where the hottest water is and thus probably drop your temps a bit
too.)
I hope that doesn't sound like I'm being critical :-) just
was something that came to mind and thought I'd pass it on for
you to do with as you wish.
