custom radiator overflow tank ideas
Hi Everyone.
I need a radiator overflow tank for the Scrambler I'm building.
Yes, I could buy a generic tank.
I've built the entire Scrambler from the frame up, installed a 5.0 engine and five speed, and painted it in a home-made paint booth (don't tell my neighbors).
I want to build something cool and unique for the overflow tank.
It could be extravagant, or simple like a re-purposed metal oil can.
Give me some ideas.
M

if you have access to aluminum welding a chunk of tube and some caps would be sweet
