I would love to build one, but I want a top and sides to completely cover the top half of the coolant tank, and I have no way to weld aluminum
Any ideas?

Cut and fold. Make it out of paper, then trace it out in aluminum. Cut the solid lines and fold the dotted lines. Here's a terrible drawing of what I mean:
Now I know Zetec's and Duratec's have different coolant tanks; or at least my tank doesn't look like that. If you think it's do-able, I have a spare coolant tank if you maybe want to try your hand at a Duratec tank.

Thats a great idea, but the aluminum is almost 1/8" thick, and does NOT bend without breaking, I tried
Im thinking about finding another car that I can get a chrome cover for, and using the coolant tank from that car.

you should be able to bend teh aluminum without breaking it. when i had my license plate brackets made up, they were out of 1/8" Al and they were bent to look like a "7" bent back at about an 80�° angle.
