So I heard that back in the day, they would make fast cars out of aircraft drop tanks. Would anyone here be willing to explain specifics of their construction and engineering, and if one could be made today with common parts?

Not much to it. They used the tanks because of their shape and structural rigidity.
Just put all the parts in.

They would at the very least be fun to paint.

This is true

They are very basic. You can still buy old plans for things like that and vintage sprint cars/formula cars.
>if one could be made today with common parts?
Yes, easily, some vintage hot rod parts like quick change rear ends and period correct engine go fast parts are pricey but if you weren't trying to use period parts it would be trivially easy to make one

If you have to ask on fucking Veeky Forums of all places, it's beyond your comprehension. Buy a Factory Five kit car. All you have to do is put your own motor, transmission, wiring in and it's good to go almost.

Mate how did I do.

Looks good, I used to have the same one in reversible 1/2"
