Now i'm not much of a drinker, but cruisin around the internet for ideas the alcohol bottles definitely look the coolest.
For a little extra flare, and maybe unwanted attention from the police.

Started as 3" square tubing:


Cut to shape:


Rod welded in to hold bottle:


Everything textured:


Wrenches welded in to hold in bottle:


Used Plasti-Dip on the bottle side so the bottle doesn't crack with vibrations and temp differences. The rest painted black:

Miscellaneous Busy Work

Had to re-shape an ammo can a bit to get it to fir inside the frame rails:


Welded in the battery stay:
