First order made and installed. The radiator mounts won't usually be higher, his are mounted high.

hey just to clarify everybody, i don't drill any mount holes in these. that's in case you already have like a radiator air dam mounted, you can drill holes in mine to match yours.

Not interested in the rad cover right now, though now that I see it on, it's a great idea and looks really nice. Mental note made for sure. What I would be interested in sooner than later is a similar shaped C channel of stainless to cover the gap left in the 68 and earlier doors when the window frames are removed. Can you bend a C channel that tight with that new toy?
Could we get a pic of how the rad. cover looks from the back side of the radiator?

all orders have shipped out, i'd love to see installed pics, especially since 2 of them were custom orders.

i've got plenty of metal and boxes for more orders. anybody else?

Here's a requested pic from the back side of the radiator;

I CAN do custom pieces that would sandwich between the radiator and fan shroud, but i'd need measurements since there's so many possible variables. Here's one i made for 70Steve.

I took a piece of scrap and tested the bender, and yes I can do fillers for the top of the doors.

i'm considering getting a piece of perforated stainless and making a radiator cover for mine, think the holes would look kinda cool. i'll let you guys know what comes out. i can also bend thin diamond plate aluminum if someone wants one made out of that.

I bought the rad cover and noticed you have grill cover to the left and right of the hood latch. How much and are you making those? Andy

i don't make those because wild horses and american bronco sell them. i also can't duplicate the lip that folds down by the hood latch and it'd be hard for me to make it go under the corners of the fenders like theirs do. if that doesn't bother you then i can make them too.
