That is cool and scary all rolled into one! I'd be afraid of the tank, no way around it, but aesthetically I do enjoy it. The only thing I don't like on it is the modern electric motor. If it were mine it would have to be modified to look old.

You really need to find an old century motor for that.
Very cool.

Something like this (not mine, found on Google):

That compressor looks like it was salvaged from a civil war submarine.

That's insane -- I don't think I've ever seen a riveted tank compressor before. Probably all the other ones have blown up already.
