As you guys can see, the biggest discrepancy is the rear end, I left part of the front glacis of the carrier with the tow eyes for practical purposes. Taking that much out of the carrier to make it shorter seemed excessive and securing it for transport is much easier with those to chain to.
The pic Hanno put up of the view port is my next big hurdle. I need to make those from scratch, unless someone has a spare they might part with? Once I have one I can copy them, fairly closely.... Otherwise I will just use the pic and make something similar looking. Much as I have done thus far.
Thanks for the encouragement.
