Wow. Amazing! What are you going to do with it? Mount it for a metal sculpture?

My cousin had bought this home made pontoon years ago. The floats are actual drop Tanks from a B52 bomber. The problem was that drop tanks are light and dent to Easley to be used for a pontoon.

I am going to salvage these tanks and do something interesting with them. What do you guys think?????
I looking for ideas on what to do, something that preserves the fact that they are from a B52 bomber.

Well, I guess that rules out Headhunter's suggestion of planters!

Maybe a mock-up B-52?

Geez! Where do you live, Scott? They aren't a danger, are they?

I think you should sell them on E-Bay and use the profits for something you can use.
