The Old Crow Lives!!.......Bellytank update

ahhh bellytanks!!! my fav nice job man cant wait to see more.

 

What up Bob? Did you get your box?

 

I got a question...Some years ago I was thinking wouldn't it look cool to build a mustang fuselage body to a smaller scale and use as a speedster body? Has anyone done this?

 

Were you able to get ahold of Bud Anderson?

 

Duh? just answered my own question. More stockish/32ish than what I had in mind, but its the idea.

 

Awesome!

 

Awesome! Glad I renewed my RJ sub.

Here's Bud's P-51 that will fit in the bar.

That's *****y Bobby!

 

What can I add Bobby but WOW! Love it!!!

Quick ???....Did you have any problems getting the wheels balanced???

 

bobby,
are you & the car ready for GNRS ?

 

BEEEEAAAUUUTTTTTEEEEFFFUUULLLL!!!!

 

Bobby, Just another gearhead with some words of encouragement...
Amazing! I love the engine turned fairing, and the contrast against the scuffed, original paint. Gotta say, the final outcome works much better than any of the previous layouts.

 

I haven't tried to contact Bud Anderson yet, I wanted to wait til the tank was done. I'll probably try this week.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys. here is a better pic of the painting.
And I also changed the front suspension around. I swapped the straight tube axle for a v8-60 axle. It looks way better. Has a nice smile to it.

 

Bobby-

Man that Tank is really growin on me...Looks like it's doin a buck fifty standin' still...

MUTTLEY HAS A BOOK?

 

Also, are the centers welded to the rim where the rivets are????
Somewhere I saw some that were weld to meet SCTA rules......just curious.

 

Thats awesome looks real good, hope to see it in person on salt this year.

 

WOW! I love this tank. It's one of my favorite rides I've seen here on the HAMB. Can't wait to see it in the pages of TRJ.

 

WOW, that just fricken rock! Just love it!!

 

Muttley wrote the book!

 

Nice engine turning! It's lookin' kick ***. Did you ever get the backdrop for GNRS taken care of?

 

Bellytank ! just added to the list ? very cool indeed .

 

Yes, I did. Jimmy Kats, the guy that made the Salt Dreams book sent me a picture. It was 400 megs, so it should look pretty good. I'm going to pick it up later today, it 8 ft. tall and 14 ft. long.

 

Looks great man! Hope you are able to get in touch with Bud Anderson, keep us updated on how that goes!!!

 

Bobby, I cannot tell you how much I love that car.

 

Thanks Fletcher. Here are a couple more pics. My buddy Ruben came by with some one shot and a paint brush.

 

Hey Bobby, can't wait to see it at the show! Coop really did an outstanding job with the logo. It has alot of the cl***ic woodpecker feel to it, love the concept!

 

Bobby, I'm with Kevin on this. Looks damn good man. You got good taste. Can't wait to see it in person at B-ville this year.
