Does anyone have a picture of these screens? How are they built? Most I have seen are made of 1/4 steel rod frame with screen attached. How do you attach the screen to the frame?

I've got one on my Z (which I removed today as we re-painted it, first paint job ever, doesn't look bad - for a race car). It is made using ally rod and the screen is simply folded over the rod. Simple and works well. Mine is then zip tied in place to keep the debris from damaging the fins on the oil cooler and radiator.

For my Cobra, I welded up a frame made from 3/4" aluminum angle that covers only the radiator core. The screen is 1/4" stainless screen from Pegasus Racing. The screen is sandwiched between the aluminum angle, using 3/4" aluminum strips. The strips are secured using 10-24 stainless screws and nut inserts. The screen is held 3/4" away from the rad core, and should deflect most stones and road debris that may be thrown.
Dean - While I was looking for rear view (exhaust) pictures of your car, I happened upon this post. There's a nice shot of the screen you're talking about I think:
