    Hi,

    looking for some cool ideas for a overflow bottle for my 1963 chevrolet impala, i was going to use my jack daniels gold edition (my chevy is autumn gold) but worried it will smash from over heating or rough roads.
    Can make a bracket for it easy enough though.
    Any ideas would be great and photos if possible.

    Cheers
    Harley

    Lousy photo, but I used one of the polished stainless ones on my 62 Bel Air alongside the driver's side of the radiator. You can see it in the photo. I think it looks great and fits well. It's mounted to the radiator mounting bolts.

    Edit: here are a couple more photos. I had something more kitschy in there before, I like this better.

    Not probably what you need but this is what I did for a friend's '42 Willys pickup. 7-25-2013 6-49-11 AM.jpg

    Why start another thread for the same subject?

    I used a PBR tall boy can after I finished drinking the original contents

    I used a contac lens cleanser bottle after emptying contents on my 32 cabriolet that I drag raced at the track. The can was made out of aluminum and I drilled an extra small hole in case of pressure problems IMG_1777.jpeg IMG_1778.jpeg IMG_2200.jpeg

    maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but one of my favorites was an old aluminum army canteen that had been polished!
