Australian Belly Tank
Reverend Hedgash:
Our tank is from a 1953 Canberra Bomber, apparently sent over Russia to photograph Kasputin Yar by Winston Churchill at the request of the Americans. (Pre U2 days)
Chased out by Mig17's, old WH700 saw the end of its life doing Blue Jay Missile trials in Woomera Australia.
It will soon return to near this base, in March 2006 in battle again, this time racing against the clock.
Dr Goggles and myself have spent 2 years designing, building, redesigning this project. It has started to become a complete obsession.
Powerplant is a 3.6litre V6 Holden Commodore engine. Hopes for a run in March.

Reverend Hedgash:
Thanks Glen, these pics are a little old now, things moving quickly at the moment with seat construction on the weekend and our seven point harness being readied for fixing to the car.
I'll keep posting if the interest is there, er.. here.

Sumner:
It looks good. I wish I could bend round tubing like that. How much castor do you have in the front? I'm still trying to figure what I want.
I like the shape of the body a lot :D .
Good luck and for sure post more pictures,
Sum
