Anyone attempted a standy version of Airstream Torpedo?

[Danomite]

Hello everyone,
Has anyone made an attempt at a standy (full-size) build of the Airstream Torpedo that Wally Byam sold plans for in Popular Mechanics in the 30's?
I finished my 8' long canned ham standy and am contemplating giving this a try as my next project.
I found a sketch with some measurements in an online search and can't seem to shake the idea.
I made my canned ham with a 1 inch square tube skeleton (0.065" wall thickness), and would probably do the same with this one. I also found a recycling place that has mill finish .040" aluminum sheets for $2/pound if I buy 100 pounds or more.

Not so interested in the Airstream, but I would love to see more of your standy. I'm located in Lansing if you ever want to meet in the middle for a beer or three...

Sounds good to me. Actually, I am heading about an hour west of the bridge for Labor Day weekend. The Michihistrigan Campground (on US2 near Gould City) has a log cabin bar in it so I can drink too much and not worrying about driving!
The boy and I are going to walk the bridge on Monday. I haven't done the walk in years.
BTW, I have my standy in Build Journals. It's called Central Michigan Canned Ham.
Cheers,
Dan

I looked her up after typing that. Would still love to see her in person.
This weekend is spoken for on my side, but maybe some time in the future

Sounds great. Maybe meet up in Mt. Pleasant?
