Default Coolant Reservoir

Anyone know where I can find a coolant reservoir for my '71 350 w/o A/C and copper radiator? The hose from the neck of the cap on my radiator just goes straight down underneath the car and doesn't connect to anything. I don't care if I get stock or aftermarket. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer something aftermarket that is smaller than the typical one (see below from someone else's car). Thanks!

I use my windshield washer resevoir for this. It is fairly small and fits in. I don't need the washers and most of the tracks require some type of overflow. I use a later style coolant tank cap.

This is the exact reason why I'm doing this. I know my local track won't let me out there with that hose dangling.

It would be nice for this to look trick because it'll be hard to hide it. So if anyone has pics of unique or stylish installs, I'd appreciate the creative boost as I'm not the most creative type individual.
