How is a broken vessel for holding liquid better than none?

Some time ago I "repaired" a broken one. Spending hundreds of dollars on a nice reservoir wasn't in the budget. A little glazing putty, RTV, and some paint did the trick...to me it looks better than not having one.

well now I'm thinking mine's still worth $150

Maybe! Manny had that one for sale, I believe I gave $40 for it.

When I'm next back at the shop I'll take some photos and bring it back to Chicago

I was talking to a guy with a 69 parts car. We were looking around the engine bay and I was explaining how some things just aren't made anymore and might be valuable. He was very interested as he leaned over and put his thumb through the bottle. He laughed and wanted to know what kind of stuff I was talking about.
The "good" news is that the bottom of the tank was in pieces as well.

That’s hilarious!

If others are ahead of me, then by all means please ignore this request -- but otherwise I am interested in your broken one as the motor is good. I could pick it up and pay for it during the CATL.

I'll get it back here and see if Paul wants to pay through the nose for it, if not maybe you'll get a shot

If originality is a primary requirement be prepared to cough up a lot of money. Otherwise it's not that difficult to come up with something that will wash off the crud the semi in front of you tossed on your windshield. VansAuto in Wisconsin sells a lot of mopar stuff. I bought a radiator overflow tank that would work as a ww reservoir. You would have to get an external pump though. Look for a 66 or earlier Chrysler pump. They mount on the radiator support. A 67+ version would also work if you cut a hole in the bottom and mount it there.

$15.00 for this.
If you're desperate, a 1/2 gallon milk jug would work with a few zip ties. And it costs nearly nothing.

Now I have 2 broken dreams!!! I have to test the motor on the yellowed one.

Motors both work, who wants to send my kids to juCo?
