blowing glass is how you would make a hose unless you had a mold of one that exactly was like your radiator hose ask the guys if they know of some one who could custom make you glass hoses

I don't see how that shit wouldn't break with expanding and contrasting. Looks sick as hell though.

i'm pretty sure u can't just get anyone that can blow glass to do it. it seems like it would have to be some special shit and someone that's done that type of work before to get it all right. but i do remember that article and it look'd bad as hell, but i'm sure it's very spendy too, good luck

i think any glass blower would be able to do it. the majority of the glass thats blown out there is pyrex glass. that shit is made for that.
