I believe that the electric fan was out of a 90's chrysler minivan. Not sure about any more specifics than that.

With the grille block, at first, I had just 2 holes about the same size as the "holes" outlined by fake chrome. I noticed that the fan kept coming on even at high speeds (40-60 mph) so I kept opening it up... It doesn't block a whole lot anymore.

I don't worry about it running hot because of the electric fan. If it gets hot, the fan kicks on, and cools it sufficiently even with a severely blocked grille.


The tires AND rims are not stock, but I don't know about the offset. I would not be surprised if they did in fact stick out farther than stock (pretty sure, actually) but I can manage the NP/S (not power steering) without too much adrenaline thus far.

Rear wheel skirts are something I have brewing in the back of my mind for after the boat tail and when I come back to the side skirts. It would not be too difficult to attach the material because I can (read: am willing) to weld onto my frame.
