Default looks great

DD,

Looks great.

If you can get a close up of how the screen is held by the frame by the riveted "aluminum sandwich" it would help.

On spacing from the radiator surface, seem 3/4 inch won't provide much protection from heavy road debris kicked up by a truck in front of you.

Case in point, all sorts of construction debris falling off contractor pickup trucks in the LA area (man has that slowed down a lot!) provide a little anxiety in traffic.

My friend Robert's 427" ERA got smacked with a broken 5 gallon plastic bucket that dinged the fiberglass and brake inlet grill on his 427...if it had hit the radiator there would have been some damage.

You, AM and Iwanta have done some nice work.

Thanks, Pete
