Good looking work!! Let me know if you plan on selling off the old shroud bits...if the red barn makes a new taller/wider version.


I am making a new shroud. The previous one wasn't close enough (size-wise) that it was worth trying to mod, it's too nice to cut up, makes a complete "kit" for the old cooler, etc., etc.

Shroud top, beading added, awaiting final trimming. Remember, it'll get covered with Perlon, just like the earlier version. Still, we want the part to be as nice as possible for Michael!

Really? No one? Really? I need you folks to pay more attention!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
Not one of you pointed out that if I didn't want to have those fan mounts poking up above the top of the cooler cover, all I had to do was ROTATE THE !@*%($# FANS!!!

I almost pee'd my pants laughing when I realized I'd totally missed this, created more work for myself, etc. Good thing I don't do this as my day job.


How funny! I saw that and then, probably like most people, I assumed you had done that for a reason. The problem is that I just automatically assume that as much time as you put into design, and as innovative as you are, that this was done for a purpose this mere mortal couldn't comprehend. Now that I know you're human I'll start questioning everything you do (like putting a Ferrari engine in a Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looks great! Are the sides to be welded to mechanical connection?

@Cairo94507 Michael - Glad you like it! But wait until it's all done and sanded: here's a sneak peek after a few minutes with the d/a.

@East coaster Welded. But I don't trust my AL welding skills on someone else's stuff so I called in the cavalry in the form of Martin.
Here's an artsy-fartsy shot with the master at work with Michael's car serving as a back drop. Then one of the shroud in place. Nearly done!

Moving right along for sure! Big six in a non-flared 914 will be cool. Sleeper for sure.

Santa’s helpers knocking it out of the park. Looks profesh for sure and no doubt functional when it’s complete.

Michael, do you know how you’re going to get power to the fans yet?
Curious to see if you need to add a new circuit.

The top of that shroud just screams for a Red Barn decal!
