I hauled home a real WWII Airplane

I just hauled in the fuselage of a real 1942 Lockheed C60 Lodestar airplane! I plan on converting it to the most rediculous motor home/panel truck out there to sell my WWII nose art paintings out of it. It has real bomber seats in it too. I'll upload pictures in a minute as soon as I figure out how to do so.http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/l523/cjasonbarnett/Lockheed%20Lodestar/http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l523/cjasonbarnett/Lockheed%20Lodestar/CIMG7579.jpg

 

Good find...but just how did you "haul it" home ?? Flatbed ??

patiently waiting...

 

You are either going to get picture flamed or worshiped for buying the coolest thing so far this year.

 

Technically they're not bomber seats. They're passenger/transport seats. Only bombers have bomber seats.
Sorry, had to be a wise ass

 

Settle down, old man. He'll get some pics up.....wish he'd hurry up.

 

I just added a link to photobucket where I uploaded the pictures. I'm trying to figure out a way of posting directly on here now. I hauled the fuselage home on my 29 ft trailer and the tail of the plane still stuck out 16ft beyond the end of my trailer. This thing is rough because it was hit hard by Hurricane Ike in Galveston Texas and then beat up in a junkyard.

 

I absolutely love that you can convert a 40's plane into a motorhome, but can't put pics on the ol' interwebs!

 

Woah
sweet

 

WOW! The most off topic trad hot rod thread ever! I can hardly wait!

 

Oh, and you're my new hero.

 

Un"dirty word"believable!!!

I'll take two!

 

This could possibly end up as the CRAZIEST build EVER.

 

That sir is winning!

 

Here's a pic of one. There isn't enough to rebuild the one that you found?

 

Ok guys, how do I post an actual image on here from Photobucket and not just some stupid link?

 

who the hell you callin' old?....wait...nevermind.

 

man i love it!!!. id make me a club house for the grandkids out of it. good find.

 

Wow thats cool . V12 detroit for power ?

 

Ok ya'll post the pictures for me since obviously I can't get my own stuff to work. Just plain sad.

 

thats is awesomeeeee!!!

 

I see Fred has helped but herre is your answer

Click your picture in Photobucket, copy" Image Copy" from the drop down under the photo and then past it in a reply window here. Easy.

 

So. Jealous. It. Hurts.

 

Thanks. I was just getting ready to tell him how.

 

I've got an old motor home with 20,000 miles and a Dodge 440 engine. I would love to put the loudest most horrible engine that I could find in it just for creating fear in the hearts of those that you drive past. I found several real turrets that I'm trying to get my hands on now. I would love to cut the nose up and make this plane look more like a B25 Mitchell bomber- lots of machine guns poking out. I've got enough aircraft parts in my own personal junkyard to make this thing happen.

 

So awesome!

 

That is really gonna piss off your neighbors .... but that is a good thang! .... absolutly bitchen!
