Welcome aboard Ross and congratulations on your purchase. There are a couple of UC owners here in Texas (well, one has a T16) that can probably help you with dimensions for the missing armour and engine covers. Where in south Oklahoma are you? I'm all too familiar with that drive to Illinois, I bought my CMP from a seller in Elk Grove which is just west of Chicago and made the round trip from Corinth, Tx. in 46 hours. We have a very active reenactor community in the states bordering Texas and Oklahoma...are you planning on becoming a reenactor eventually? There is a good event at Ft. Washita every year which should be close to you and we're hoping that Camp Gruber will be resurrected. Half the fun of owning a HMV is restoring it, the other half is kitting it out with all the weapons, radios, and bric-a-brac that would have been carried on board during the war. Good luck on your restoration and hopefully we'll see you and your carrier at an event soon. Derek.
