slightly different take on washer/coolant bottles
Instead of relocating or changing my washer and coolant bottles I decided to work with what I already had:
I painted both of them in krylon Fusion paint (semi-gloss white) and let them dry for a week. Then I masked off and airbrushed the flames on the washer bottle. I found the flame template online. I'll probably add the same flame job on the coolant tank next year.I them added the coverer for the charcol canister and the Battery. The battery cover has risers on it so it doesn't sit directly on the battery. It's held on with velcrol tape that is stuck to the battery and screwed to the cover. Both covers are made from a 1/2" plastic board called Starboard (used in boat manufactering) and bordered with weather striping tape. The charcol canister cover follows the lines on the washer bottle and is bolted to the fron headlight/rad support.
Oh yeah, the odd looking brackets sitting on the fender wells just in front of the strut mounts are the beginnings of my Strut tower brace that I'm working on.
