Several people have asked what I'm doing with my coach. In the late 30's the White Truck Company, the folks that made art deco specialty trucks for LeBlatt Beer and others, made this art deco tank truck for the Gilmore Oil Company.

Here is a side view:

The plan is to build an all aluminum body similar to this but the back will be flatter and will open up (or fold down) to allow me to drive my roadster inside. The roadster is wider than the current space between the bogies so they will be moved outboard a bit. Probably to the legal limit of 102".
I'm still working on my roadster and some other projects so it will be a while before I get started with this.
