Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get or what to use for a coolant overflow can? I would like to keep it located on the same side as the battery. Aluminum or plastic? What to do for mounting? Any words of wisdom? If you have a cool setup, photos would be good.

I use the collector from a '76 malibu - tucks right inside the fender next to the battery:

I bought a Summit one, bent a piece of flat bar, ran a piece of tube under the radiator mount.

All stock parts from 82-92 GM F Body (Camaro and Firebird). This setup fits on the fenderwell nicely and takes about 10 minutes to install. You can get all 3 components (bottle, bottle cap, radiator cap), from any Chevy dealer.
