That looks fantastic. Did you use an original Lincoln fan or is that a repro?

I have a dual fan setup I bought for $1 off of a dude at a swap meet who didn’t want to take things home on Sunday. Codes out to a G6 if I remember correctly. I’ve been meaning to swap the fans into something usable for an old car. It’s too wide as is.

freebie original with a bad motor. bought a motor on Rock auto. Painted the fan parts with Eastwood plastic renew paint and satin clear coated the original Pontiac shroud. The Lincoln fan I think is ABS plastic while GM used fiber reinforced polypropylene. I couldn't find an economical glue or epoxy that sticks to PP. I used screws and butyl rubber to stick to both plastics. I use aluminum sheet to bridge the gaps and painted inside surfaces and the butyl to keep it from attracting dirt during use.

Also, I will be controlling it with a PWM controller (HF-125) from this guy:
