"Custom" radiator overflowbottle

[texanidiot25]

Not the best stuff, but it's got a big enough bottle to get the job done.

had you used a coors light i would give you props.. looks good tho

[LuckyHenriksen]

Haha sweet man. I did the same using a NOS energy drink bottle. Gotta love it.

[petey-pablo]

That Looks good what did you use to mount it ? Is it a cup holder type thingamagigga .

[Swifty]

thats one of my favorite over flows. i'm using an antique budwiser bottle.

[cdowns]

it might work better on the side of the rad that has the overflo tube

[68gmsee]

It's a good way to recylce..... But you think there's a possibility of the bottle breaking if overheated water is introduced into it in a cold day? Just a thought.

[69chevybmx]

Creative.. now it just needs some duct tape.

[thirdstreettito]

I'm gonna be using an empty HUGE ammo shell.

[70cstjr]

would that count as having an open container in ur vehicle?

[oldblue1968chevy]

cool..mite have to copy that.......but dunno bout the temps and it being glass liable to break...

[hilandr452]

Not sure about twist offs, but the reusable bottles had to be heated to 165 degrees to kill all bacteria before filling.

I was thinking of making a bracket to hold a washer fluid jug and drill a hole in a cap so I could just change out the jug instead of filling the thimble sized original equipment jug 47 times and having half full jugs in my toolbox taking up space.

I know it will look a bit tacky but it's my truck, not yours so shut it!!

Too crowded by the batter and fuse block and wiring. Just have to run a longer hose, that's all.

Cold day, we have those here in Texas?

In theory yes, but with under hood heat I'm sure the bottle would be fairly warm as it is. We;ll see when the day comes. But I've got a big nasty aluminum rad, it's gonna take some serious heat to over heat that monster.

Bicycle cup holder. Not the classiest thing brining an empty Corona into a bike shop haha...

In this case it was based purely on bottle size. An old Jack Daniels would have been BA, but the paper lable would begone fast. The only other bottle I saw that I liked was something like Arrogent Bastard? Had a BA lookin' devil on the lable.

Man, I hear you on that one. I'm taking the boat out Thursday. Supposed to be in the 70's. I'm just hoping there's water in the lake.

Arrogant Bastard is some great strong ale! 7.4% alcohol. Its brewed locally here in San Diego

[72hotrodder]

thats awsome i used a jack daniels bottle for mine

[bad68bowtie]

I like it, I rigged up a black label Southern Comfort bottle for mine, just zip-tied it to the core support. Wish I had a picture on hand though it does look a little redneck, the bike holder on yours actually looks a little more "professional" .

I know I'm not a subscriber, but I found a couple of NOS overflow bottles at the house. I'll let em go for $35.00 a piece.

The rare made in Mexico version, of course!
