And a tank apparently!...

Always looking for P-51D parts.

The top picture is of a Two component TC Pod and the lower picture is the earlier MB Pod. As with everything concerning the B-58, these were extremely complex. Here are a few pages from a B-58A Flight Manual concerning the pods.

I know it is a crazy dream but oh boy how much fun would it be to hang a real living, fire breathing B-58 above that pod! Kind of a' la the Vulcan; just without having to stop flying it

And if not, I wonder how many Hemi V-8s could be lined up in it... Bonus points if you used Chrysler Industrial engines taken from retired '50s air raid sirens!

All right, Mister Dorfmann, start pullin'!
Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

I feel your pain. But my dream still has to be to hear a B-36...

Drag racing's Big Daddy Don Garlits has one all restored in his museum. I found a couple of videos of him running it before and after he restored it.
