Why? He didn't even send me a card last year. :lol:
How many of the flying P-38s are carrying drop tanks now? I see some racecar builder getting it first.

As a gear head I’ve got to agree that it would make the basis of a great restoration/recreation of a belly tank lakester/racer and probably very affordable at that price. As street rodders are known to say, “Anybody can restore one; it takes a real man to cut one up!”
