Acme Speed Shop’s new P-38 Belly Tank

Man this was hard to find! I have been looking for one of these for years, in any condition, but finally found one in excellent shape.

Just got it home and it is really clean, even has some of the original decals on it.

What a neat piece of history.

Think of the possibilities.............................

That is GREAT, you must have a horseshoe up your **** to find one in this good of shape. Let's see some inside pictures of the tank.

Thats about the coolest find ever.

 

WOW!! The car gods are smiling on you.

 

Can I ask ( plead ? ) you run a tape over (hieght/ width/ length ) & post here ?
Much appreciated- I want to design/ render & post @ Friday Art Show.
Sure looks like a dream find.

 

Spoggie,

I will post the dimensions soon. I plan on doing a simple sketch for myself and will post it here.

 

Was that the one at the Big-3?

 

Nope.

That one was bought by Dave Simard. I heard about it.

 

WAY COOL!!!!! Hurry up with the sketch.....

 

I saw Dave there walking around. He must come out here a lot, I see him at a few shows/swaps.

 

Nice one John , as nice as you said , you have a Taylor Engines flathead waiting

 

Dave has a winter house in San Diego I believe , escapes the Ma. Winter sensible man .

 

I think Wal Mart carrys them

 

Hope to see you at the Salt Flats. What a great find. Gograts.

 

Ahh these things are a dime a dozen man, whats the big deal. LOL

 

Wow! That thing is close to pristine. Congrats on the find.

 

Did you get these from Dave ? .... Are these new toys your now ? ........ Steve

 

Wow , that looks just like the mine .........wonder were those came from ??...lol... Steve

 

Did you know that tank was probably made by the Mullins Boat Company which also the rodder's favorite trailer, The Mullins Red Cap Utility Trailer?

 

Do you have any pics of them being made in the factory ??

If so lets see !!..............

 

This is what I would like to do with it.......but, time will tell.
