Default Fan shrouds

Are there any decent fan shrouds for a '64.5-'66? I've got the stock one but it has more gaps than coverage. I don't care if it's not stock, my car is being built my way.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of places make aftermarket shrouds but we would need to know whether you have a mech fan or electric and what kind of radiator you have. Any who sells radiators will probably sell shrouds made for it.

Stock style 4 row radiator, thermo-clutch mechanical fan. I've seen some advertised as "heavy duty" but no pictures. My local supplier only has the stock type.

There's always the extra-deep ABS shroud. Still, the main purpose of the shroud is to break the vortex at the tip of the blade, and even the narrow one does that. Part of the problem is the OEM style repro is the one made for the original 2-row radiator, and we're all trying to use it on a 3-row radiator, which makes the radiator-side edges all wrong. I have an original 66 steel 3-row radiator and shroud, and it fits much better. I doubt anyone will be doing a repro of that one any time soon.

This is the ABS shroud, and it's a good choice:

That's what I'm looking for, who sells it?
