Fan Shroud: Fiberglass or ABS?

    I have seen some ABS repro '70 fan shrouds that just looked awful. Thick and clunky with some pieces looking like they were glued on. The fiberglass ones that I've seen looked good on the outside, but raw fiberglass is visible on the inside. I suppose they could be buzzed down with a D/A and painted. It seems that most of the aftermarket suppliers are only selling the ABS now and are claiming that they're "concourse correct". Year One carries both.

    I'd prefer to use the ABS but if they still look like some of what I've seen, I may be better off with the fiberglass. Hopefully they've been improved. Does anyone have experience with both of these repros and can advise which is closest to GM factory appearing? Who is the best source?

    Thanks,
    Donny
