58 Lower Radiator Fan Shroud
 
I am having a difficult time trying to determine how the lower radiator fan shroud is supposed to screw together. I don't think I have it correct and I am hoping someone has a good picture of how it is supposed to go together because I haven't found one.

Can anyone provide a good photo for this, or tell me if I have it correct? Yes, I know that I don't have the correct screws for this as they are on order.

Lower should be two sections joined in the middle with three (or four?) screws.

Corvette central has a reasonable pic of the assy on their site

Sorry, Tom but I am pretty sure the portion of the pic you are referring to is only for years 60-62. The AIM drawings are horrific. I have a 58 and the 58 lower fan shroud comes in 3 pieces like this pic:

Middle piece is connected to the 2 smaller pieces by 2 and 3 screws.

I am also trying to figure out if my middle lower shroud pic has been bent out of shape after being stored away in my father's garage for some 40+ years

Your fan pieces look OK to me. The Center piece middle holes point forward as oriented in your picture. The side pieces oval holes will sit on top of the frame rails on each side and point downward to connect to your center piece.
You may have to tweak it slightly to get all the holes lined up. I don't have a picture, but if you start that way, it will become apparent once you try and fit everything. :thumbs:

My apologies, you are correct, I confused it with the way the one in my 60 goes together. Looks like you received a solid answer as well.
