That would scare anybody if you put that in a pool! :shock:

Are F-86 tanks rare?

Yeah, he showed up at VFM one weekend with that thing and all we could think of is that another nice artifact just became junk. It is nicely polished junk.

it was a smashed up piece of junk that he made into a pretty cool thing.....not every piece of aluminum is an artifact....except in the UK

I reckon a lot of folks could say the same about what I'm doing with the "rare artifacts" here at Austin Acres too, huh? :oops:

Make a logo, throw up a website and anyone could probably sell turds for $100,000 each on the internet too.

Or he could've done something like these guys! Might be a bit more practical to someone (or at least authentic :roll:

I don't recall that the tank in question was too "smashed up" when he started with it. There are F-86 projects out there that could use a tank or two rather than it being turned into a polished fishie-thingy :roll:

. On the other hand, if you have a pile of Sabre tanks just laying around knock yourself out. Those of us trying to restore an F-86 will find tanks somewhere........
