Curves of steel: Sleek, slick and aerodynamic.

Photo Details
Poster: xcel (see this users gallery) When World War II fighter planes had to carry out long range missions, their small bodies weren't big enough to carry all the fuel they needed. So disposable "drop tanks" were fitted to their undersides. The tanks had an aerodynamic teardrop shape to minimize their impact on the planes' performance. California hot rodders serving in the Pacific theater recognized a ready-made racecar body. After the war, a big 315-gallon tank that had ridden under Lockheed P38 Lightnings was fitted with wheels, a V8 engine in the back and a cockpit up front.
