i have finished the bottle and was wanting to convert it into a radiator overflow tank.

anyone tried this yet? I figured I'd make a cage with a leather strap going over the neck of the bottle and snapping down over the top to keep it snug.

I have seen it a lot on "Rat Rods" and similar type builds. Nothing wrong with it if you like it, I think it could look pretty cool if done right.

I'll vote no.
Much of the rat rod stuff is very bad.

Yeah I scene a lot of rat rods do this also......Crown Royal bottle, prune juice jar, an old canteen, and other various stuff.............

i know we have all seen this or variations there of, I guess I was really asking if any of you have actually done it so I can get some mounting ideas.

I haven't done this, but think it would look cool, would like to see what you come up with. What would be really cool would be whiskey colored coolant....
