Belly Tank Racer

Hello all,
Here is another project i am working on.
Take a Ford V8 flathead and a WWII surplus P-38 belly tank and you have a cheap, clever and effectively streamlined racer.
The client purchased a very battered belly tanker and wanted to see what it may look when restored.
Take a Ford V8 flathead and a WWII surplus P-38 belly tank and you have a cheap, clever and eye-catching solution. The wheels are typical 30s Ford spokes, i have added streamlined caps. Also added are a crashbar, louvers and windscreen. The louvers are just grafted into the tank shape.
Can anyone help me with the mapping? I used cylinder UVWs but they distort as the shape tapers fore and aft.
Thanks for watching!
