Coolant overflow

OneSickPsycho · 02-03-2011, 11:13 AM

Help me build my coolant overflow... Pretty simple.

I'm going for a raw, bare metal, sorta looks broken, and "WTF is that thing?" streetfighter... looking for cheap/free options to build a cool coolant overflow container...

I've seen pints of Jack Daniels, beer cans/bottles, old water bottles, etc, etc... all of those are cool, but I'm looking for something different... preferably not shiney - raw metal... transparent is coolio too.

Any ideas? Anyone got anything laying around that beckens the call?

I say hit up a flea market and look around for something that is the right size and catches your eye. Nothing is wrong for that job.

Small fire extinguisher

It would be a pain in the ass and somewhat delicate (probably similar to the Jack bottle), but you could make it out of some laboratory glassware like a beaker or graduated cylinder.

Yeah, I'm looking at stuff everywhere I can... maybe a trip to the flea market is in order...

Yeah, I've seen stuff like that before... cool as well... I was also thinking of finding a giant syringe... old school antique glass ones with metal ends... pretty cool, but fucking retarded money on eBay.

Oh, forgot to mention, I'd like to keep it under $5.

Maybe one of the shots? Or two of them together? Think 2.5oz would be too small?
