any creative use for these aluminum water bottles?

X-mas gifts

 

I'll have to check the diameter of those with my calipers.. I think they're 22 oz bottles..

 

HAHAHAHAHA!
How about a portable pisser? For when you're waiting in line at a show?

 

If used as a overflow, do they also need a drain tube some where so they will not build up pressure?

 

I've got a couple of those too.

Use EZ-Off oven cleaner to strip the anodizing. Blasting or wire wheel will kill them.
Once bare, use some 000 steel wool and twist it around the bottle to give it a brushed finished.

I'm going to make an aluminum bracket to weld to the side of the thing and cap the open end. Drill a hole in the open end for a radiator pet**** (drain), and drill a hole in what was the bottom and stick a piece of aluminum line down into it (with a slash-cut on the end). Then attach the overflow hose on the radiator to it.

Upside down, it won't be obvious it's an aluminum beer bottle, and with the taper and the end, it's functional.

Target always, has a nice ***ortment of car parts in their home furnishing section for some reason. Tig required.

Car parts are where you find 'em.

 

Ha Ha read my mind!

 

I've also had the crazy idea of making fake fuel injection stacks for my pony....

Yeah, I know..... Somebody beat that guy over the head!!

 

Yep i think they call them the 3am urine storage containers. A hotrod camping essential.

 

What about mag wheel centers? Cur them in half, put the bottoms on one side and tops on the other.....

 

Here's the overflow for my Plymouth. Welded a length of aluminum angle to the side to attach it. Connection from radiator has 1/4" tube to about an inch from the bottom. Other connection is the overflow drain. Holds about 1.5 qts. Works well so far. Polished it up on a buffer with a bit of compound.

 

Polish them up, then use some Blue paint and paint/letter "NOSS" on them, just to mess with the idiots!

Run some old braided lines to each of them, hooking them in series.

 

Too bad they're not big enough to be made into steering column adapter covers...

 

This type of statement is what holds the Rat Rod Craze together.

 

Oh! Well then perhaps I should clarify.....
Car parts are where you find 'em as long as they are used for good and not evil.

 

how about windshield washer reservoir? like the gauge ide and of course the radiator overflow.

 

I just would drink out them, no antifreeze for me though. Blast'em, paint'em and stripe'em or some traditional style paint job to them.
