Need a shroud chromed
Does anyone know of a good chromer,if that is the correct term,in the K.C. area? A friend of mine fabed the fan shroud.I think the bowtie is pretty cool

Why is the bowtie all those colors? All red or all blue would look smoother IMO.

Looks pretty good to me, I would powder coat it if it were mine.

Yeah its a cutout.You are seeing the engine and one the fan blades(the blue area).I had not thought of powder coating it and there is a place here in town that does that.Thanks Krue,that is a good idea.

it doesn't seem to make sence having a cutout in the shroud ,sort of defeats the purpose of having a shroud doesn't it???
maybe cutout a piece of aluminum in the shape of a bowtie and rivet it on to get the proper airflow

Put a chrome bowtie in a powder coated shroud, should look pretty good.

Engine temp runs between 185 and 190,I dont think anything has been compromised.Its more about aesthetics.Thanks for the input all,good ideas.

Powdercoat it one color and then powdercoat a piece just large enough to cover the hole in a different color and put it under .
Might look cool to have a 3D look. kw

I think that's a real cool custom idea that I haven't seen before, and if it still runs about 190 degrees, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
