I make my own radiator fan shroud and when will the Jeep Comanche ever be done?

I have been shopping for a suitable radiator and fan combo to mount on the back of the Jeep truck. My friend Colin said he had one I could have, and didn't charge me anything since I game him some parts late last year. So with an amazon fan and an old street sign, I decided that I could make my own. As with everything I try for the first time, this was a big risk. I ran into a few problems making this thing, for starters, the aluminum that signs are made of are some kind of alloy that makes them very difficult to bend. I soon learned this when I clamped it to the bench and had to use all my might with an undersized hammer to get it close to a shape that I found acceptable.
In the end, I suppose this turned out all right. It's definitely 100% not perfect, Just like all of us.
Hope you enjoy the video and let me know in the comments what you've done with yours or what you would do different next time around.

You know harbor freight's got a tool to help you with that and it's not real expensive

I saw that! I thought they were super expensive but it's on sale right now for like $250. I'm super cheap but I don't mind buying stuff if I have to. Sometimes I have a dumb idea I wanna try and I'm lucky it works out half the time lol.
I like to think that the last time you do something should have the best outcome, which makes the first time the worst. Long winded way of saying I'll do better next time 😜
