Belly Tanker alert

You don't see these for sale very often:

If I didn't have a garage full of projects I'd be all over it.

 

Nice! Wish I could have it, but I aint ready for one yet! ...YET!

 

Anyone else notice the little track racer in the background?

 

Is it a real tanker, it sounds like he made it.

 

I think you are seeing the top sections of the belly tank behind it.

 

The way I read it, he formed the body himself. It looks like a good start if it can be made legal to run.

 

Take another look. the one with the trailer in it. In the back is another racer I believe. It has red wheels.

 

at first I thought it was a 8N or 9N tractor.
the next shot shows more of it, yep track car.

Yup, he built it, had a build thread right here on the HAMB

I don't know this guy, but he builds some awesome stuff, and takes time to document it here. I have followed a couple of the builds and subscribed to them for reference.

 

Fricken awesome.

That bellytanker is still for sale. I talked to the owner/builder. Turns out that the buyer backed out on the sale.

 

Belly tank. Not tanker.

 

Good for driving around the block but not a real race car.
