..You'll have to excuse my pics. I'm scanning them from prints, and haven't figured out the re-sizing thing yet.
..The tank was...ummm...donated. The barrel was scavenged. I paid $85 for a 10" butterfly valve on fleabay. About $15 for an air cylinder to snap the valve open. Trailer was free. Bunch of us farm boys did the welding. We did pay a guy to purge and cut a hole in the 500 gal. tank. So, maybe $150 in the whole thing. We copped an OLD compressor with a 4 cyl. Ford motor, that will fill the tank in under 2 minutes. I've got pics from the build, but can't find them right now.

..Not yet. I really want to do a car. My son has a couple headed for the boneyard, so I may hold one around until the weather warms up. We have a black powder bowling ball cannon that we used to bring down a concrete silo, so I can't wait to do a car. I can imagine what the junkyard guys will think......"WHAT happened to this thing?"
