How's about one of those old oil bottle bolders. They would hold 4 or 6 bottle of oil. The oil bottles were made of glass. The racks were made of metal with a handle

IMAG2998.jpgIMAG3000.jpgIMG_0625.jpgIMAG2999.jpg 3rd pictures gives easy way to attach. I painted it to match oil can. I find this size works best.

My kids found me an old gas can for mothers day last year so I painted it to match as well. I have some cans left if you need them. Where are you located??? I think for some reason up north??

Cheers

Janice

I used an empty cleaned out, nice old rustic bison oil can. Sealed it with a matt clear, lined it with a plastic cup that fit and then attached it to door but you can attach where ever you want. I didnt want anything on the floor between the seats. I'll try and throw up some pics for ya to give you an idea.

I did use an old pepsi cooler that worked as well....I just didnt want shifting obstructed.

If you have a sewing machine you can find an old blanket and sew the bows from the old headliner into it. Then get some 3m adhesive. About $25. Then spray the ends where the bows don't stick in and stick them to the metal. It's easy

Piston and rod sounds pretty cool to me. Also replica Ford Model A cowl lights (e-Bay ) would be neat. Nasty
