Default Re: cool cans

Definitely old school! I made one back in the mid-1980's for my GTO, and it did seem to work. I simply bought a new gallon paint can (easily found at Home Depot), and used some scrap aluminum 3/8" fuel line tubing I had (much better than steel, it won't rust). I coiled it myself, very easy to do. I cut a hole at the bottom of the can (on the side), and one at the top of the can (on the side). For my dry ice supply, I used to walk into Baskins-Robbins and buy some for about $1.00. The ice used to last for a whole evening of cruising and racing. It's also very easy to put a hole in the bottom of the can and either use a cheap petcock to drain any water.

I remember a few times after I'd shut the car down at a cruise spot, I'd pop the hood, and feel the fuel line coming out of the can, and it was cold.
