65 V8 long water pump, FAN SHROUD ideas?

[NEWFISHER]

A stock one won't fit and I don't want to cut up the perfect oe one that I purchased to make it fit. An aftermarket plastic one won't work and if cut down will have too large of fan opening by the time it fits ( 4" from rad to center blade)

Anyone run into this? Solution?

My thoughts are fab up a nice sheet metal shroud or ditch all of the LWP stuff from the front of the engine and go with Short Water Pump stuff.

Hoping someone says " oh yeah, just get a shroud from a ______and trim it
