Thanks all for the comments.

Mike, my metal fab/bending skills really suck. Its not worth my time to mess about making a part like that and have it turn out to be so so. Id rather wait for an original to show up and pay for it that way.

Brad and David, The carrier has actually had mud in the tracks since sometime last fall. I only had it out for its first time about 2 weeks ago. With the rain we had the last few days it now has fresh mud in them

I don't know the exact total of fastners used but it is a lot. There is at least 300 on it so far. I know what you meen about welded hulls. However I kinda like the rivet look. Makes it look older.

Lynn, I know those back wheels are really pulling the rear end down. Im supposed to be getting some more wheels from another MLU'er but we havn't been able to get together yet.

I also did a bit more painting on it today. Durring the war, the RHLI painted a "Hell's Angles" logo on the side of all there carriers. Since my carrier is supposed to be used by the regiment during its stay in England prior to going to France I figured I would paint on the logo. What do you guys think. My only concern will be the reception of the "Hell's Angles" part as this is the name of the outlaw biker gang in Ontario and Quebec and parts of the US.
