These brackets also had to withstand highway speed loads for a continuous period of time.

I was thinking about making the case feet look like actual land gear with wheels, though, decide against it, because it didn't fit what I felt was a traditional modding look. I designed feet that were forward swept with holes for appearance and wind to blow through while transporting, but they also had to be mountable to a truck and withstand highway speed load again.

The reservoir was another tricky idea. I tried to see if something in the modding market would fit, unfortunately no. I needed a design that looked different, and was gritty and edgy in appearance. It also needed to come apart and be lightweight. I took a small motor apart and used just the two ends and bolted them together with a seal between them. This let me clear coat the inside to protect from corrosion.
