Moon tanks on Mercs...Pics, anyone?

[MercMan1951]

I seem to recall a picture of a Merc sled that had a Moon (or moon-style) tank of some sort in it's grill cavity. It may have been a flats car, but regardless, anyone out there have any shots of it, or other Mercs with these tanks in place of the grill?

50merc- yeah, I remember that. But I also remember seeing a Merc at the flats with one, I guess I'm looking for that...I dunno. I thought it would be a different way to mount an overflow tank, and still have that "flats" look. Certainly wouldn't want fuel in there on the street. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif But thanks...

Oh, yeah...there we go...that's kinda cool looking...except for the hood pins, and that he cut one too many teeth off the pass. side...that's what I'm looking for. THANKS bradberry! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i counted the same number of teeth,but something does look weird...maybe it's the angle of the picture....and the hood pins go against the point of making the car look smoothed out http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

the pins are probably there to make up for no latch because of whatever all that tubing go's to. who is gonna land speed race a 50 merc?
