    so im trying to think of a way to make a neat overflow tank for the maverick. im leaning towards a jack daniels glass bottle or a glass smirnoff ice type. i think either one would look neat with neon green antifreeze in them.

    however i dont want it to look like a rat rod or have a clash of looks. any ideas besides the "always the same" round cylinder aluminum kind? pics will help also.

    Since I don't use the windshield washer, it serves as my coolant recovery...

    I've always used another washer tank for coolant recovery. The car is dirty but you get the idea...
