Hi Paul,   I was going to wait to publish photos  until this project
was a little farther along, but I have to set it aside for a week or
so until more materials arrive.  The photos are self explanatory.
Feel free to delete whatever is too repetitious.  A lot of trial and
error thus far with the emphasis on the latter.

   There will be side pieces on the louvers eventually.   Something to
think about is the large rear louver  side pieces will need clearance
space under the engine.   In my case they can go on either side of
the oil pan.  If a rad is off set so that the end of the louver is
under the oil pan it will not work.   The frame is bolted  to the
radiator  using  little aluminum weld "studs" that I got from C & R
Racing.  They are tapped  1/4 x 20.
