When do you get to fire that sucker??

 

Here I was saying all those pressure valves and manifolds weren't period. I inderstand not everything can be 100%, but I thought some fake non working controls would be better than replacing them with a modern working system.

then I realized what you've done is create a gas system that gives a big boom out the barrell complete with flame without actually making it a working cannon.

Cool.

 

It is setup as a "gas gun", propane and oxygen are metered and then ignited - C02 cylinders kick the whole mess back to simulate recoil.

 

so what happens if you ramrod a pumpkin down the barrel though?.... Worlds best potato, err pumpkin -cannon!

Last post of pictures - enjoy!

 

Wow, finally done.

This tank is for sale to anyone ready to pony up $800,000. It is titled as a motor vehical in the state of TX - I **** you not......

And I don't mean that as a plug - he really doesn't "want" to sell it, or need to sell it - it's just that it would take that much money to get him to part with it.

 

truly a feat, must have been awesome to work on it. what was total time to restore?

 

Somewhere around two years IIRC, maybe a little less.

 

This thread - my friend - deserves it's own DIY Forum - in public.... If you are willing - I'd like to "copy" it outside the Member Only Forum.. There are a few thousand folks who would get a trill of seeing this.. My Dad would be one....

Simply......

Amazing.......

Amazing.....................
