I’ve done a bit of research and I know a guy with a 63 R code Galaxie that has a fan shroud on it. It’s a top and bottom metal shroud that he thought was correct for the car, but in fact these cars came without a fan shroud from the factory. I purchased, I think it was from like a 63 Tbird with AC, a 2 piece left and right shroud that wouldn’t work. Someone, I can’t remember, maybe Ecklers, was making a top and bottom fiberglass shroud specifically for this application but they are sold out and I’ve been on a waitlist for like 2 years now with no idea if they’ll ever be made again. It has to look factory. Anybody know where I can get a top and bottom shroud that’ll work? TIA.

Thinking I might try this. I assume if it works on a 64 it will work on a 63.

I have a 63 R with a shroud, but it is not original to the car. As I stated before in another thread, the 427 cars didn’t receive them, only A/C cars.
The 63 and 64 radiators mount different and that factory 63 shroud mounts in conjunction with how the 63 radiator mounts. Not saying you can’t modify to work though.

Thanks, Greg.
Is your shroud a 2 piece top and bottom, left and right or single piece?
-
It is two pieces, top and bottom. The bottom has Z shaped brackets that go back and mount on the same mounting bolt as the radiator.

Have confirmed it was Macs that used to make the repops and they no longer do and they aren’t going to.

This is what I’m looking for:
