How hot does it get?
This would start limiting the possibilities.

Some blood red water would make folks do a double take.

I agree with Dallas. Marvel Mystery Oil is always good for a conversation .... Add a small Marvel Mystery Oil decal to the glass for more fun things to talk about.

Lava Lamp Fluid - mostly water, oil ad some food coloring. The heat from the radiator may cause it to react.

I agree with the fish idea. It would work like a manifold cooker, only with steam. Fish dinner when you arrive at your destination.

I was think about the fish but would go with their little white bleached skeletons floating around inside. Maybe those balls they use in water thermometers.

Nice! Looks like an old fashioned glass gasoline pump reservoir. I would put in some water colored with green and red food dye to resemble the reddish brown color of gasoline and put a “Texaco” decal on it. Bourbon or tea with a little red food dye would work as well. Jim Patrick

I was thinkng coffee grinds but that would cause too many questions to be asked. MMO sounds about right. Finally something it's good for.

I like the idea of the tiny rubber duck on water but I would fill it with mannequin fingers to symbolize all the smashed fingers I've had restoring the T.
Just give me time to Rust and I'll be good as new. :) Wabi-Sabi

If the T gets too hot, the popcorn pops and you pull over and have a snack while she cools off. :D

A bit of HOT salsa to go on the burritos warming in your manifold cooker !
Around and around we go and where we stop we check the gas oil water and tires.

Probably a little roll of solder because that much weight will break the radiator neck loose.

I assume you know it's a drip oiler.

Looks cool, I would put something that would fizz and make a decal that said, "Dr Fitt's Stay Cool for Fords" or something like that.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, THE DUCK I THINK WOULD BE PERFECT, A FEW YEARS BACK I RESTORED A M-D- INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR, I PUT A MODEL OF A JOHN DEERE IN THE GLASS AIR FILTER, IT WAS MOST A YEAR BEFORE IT WAS FOUND, NOW I SEE THEM A LOT AT THE SHOWS. GOTTA HAVE SOME FUN ONCE IN A WHILE.

That would be a good way to say that M-D- INTERNATIONAL left John Deer behind in the dust. :lol:

Add an upper chamber and use it to brew coffee when you overheat. A nice cup to sip while you wait for it to cool down. No antifreeze.
