I thought for sure I'd posted this in that other thread but I guess not. I flat out stole the idea from Flt-Blk. A canister for a proximity fuze (whatever that is?). Got it from the army surplus store....for about half the cost of the 6-pack everyone else got theirs from. Had a little run-in with the fan after I got the hood sides on (one of the zip ties broke...yeah yeah, I'll make real brackets this time) so I'll be picking up another one this weekend. Might get a handful...
I came across about a dozen or so home health care oxygen cylinders a while back. I figure I can make all kinds of things outta them.............
It used to be it was your brand of beer can. Since i drink no alky my friends brought me a Barqs root beer can which is my favourite summer drink. I guess they wanted me to be traditionally correct.
Friend of mine picked up a stock car that was using a metal gallon can for one, so he swapped it out for an old Cities Service oil can that had some light rust on it.
