The Air Shield was originally part of these classic Mopar vehicles. They are also commonly known as a Stone Shield, Bumper Shield, or a Front Lower Bumper Shield.
The Air Shield was meant to prevent most of the air, that enters the grill cavity, from escaping and going under the radiator. Creating an Air Dam.
The Air Shield keeps and forces the air towards the radiator creating more air flow for the radiator.
Most of these Air Shields/ Stone Shields have rusted and rotted away. Some rebuilds may have them and some may not. Making this shield out of aluminum is not only preventing rusting and corrosion, but is also helping to preserve the vehicle instead of adding a steel part in that would add to corrosion of the vehicle itself. It also being aluminum it is constantly dissipating heat, otherwise with steel, it is holding on to the heat making the engine bay even hotter.
Most people have a problem with their classic Mopar's overheating, especially if there is a big block engine. Adding this Air Shield to our 1969 Roadrunner 440 reduced the overheating extensively. Air temperature quickly reduces and in return the temperature gauge begins to reduce, keeping the vehicle running at perfect temperature without overheating.
Who knew a simple quick fix could help a Mopar from overheating!
