    I'm using a Colt 45 Malt Liquor can as an overflow tank in my T-bucket that I call "Six-Shooter".

  4. An expansion tank for my T Model Ford Modified. It's made from a fuel pressure reservoir off a Huey and mounts on the spring hanger for the front suicide axle on my Modified using airframe clevis joints from a DC3

    I had this old S'OK can on the shelf for 30 years and went to use it one day and it had turned to gel so I found another use for it.

    Just an old inert gas canister I found in a scrap bin at work, and a 2" mineralac strap to mount it on the radiator support on the Austin.

    Found this old tank at a swap meet for $60, and I use it as overflow on my Falcon:

    Mine was a piece of aluminum electrical conduit that I had ends welded on to and then turned on a lathe.

    Yeah, we did, but I'm in the picture postin' mood. You can guess what mine is. Hint: It was made in 1946.
