So I took some time to tear into the "parts car" tonight...

Well I was working cleaning the tools when my 2.5 year old daughter said "hey dad you have to come see what I found over here !!" (no really even she knows!)...

So I get up and walk around to where she was taking the passenger fender off for me and she shows me this....

Remarkably , it matches the paint on the car , which had body work in that exact same spot... I know where they saved money at !! I never thought of using the touch up can as a canister Yes it has a barb in there for the vac line

alternate thread title - THERE I FIXED IT !!

 

lol. how much do you want for it?

Probably worked pretty good. Lol

 

That and you'll always have the color code

 

Old school!

 

Tin can vacuum reservoirs are nothing new. They were factory stock in early 70's Fords and Chevys. I would imagine MoPars were no different.

I don't think they stopped in the 70's, My buddies 351 Eddie bauer bronco had one.. I think my 84 Monte Carlo had one as well. Funny that someone used the paint can this time though lol

 

That's modern shit there...recycling is born.

 

I think I might upgrade to the spray can.. it has a better seal on it
