I was thinking about a Mad Max inspired carrier project - borrowing from the Sand People crawler a la Star Wars, amphibious, and mounting a huge crossbow on the engine cover...

Even more so, now

You couldn't go wrong. Somewhere there is a photo of a captured Carrier as described, and a platoon of internet experts who'll swear on a stack of "Military History Illustrated" magazines it was real.

I have to admit, it is an interesting look. With some work and a coat of paint, that would be an impressive display at the local car show. I'm not at all endorsing the idea of taking a carrier and doing this with it, but in this case, it has been done, so...

What it comes down to is this. It was really badly cut up when I got her, so it was ether go with what I had or cut it up and sell the parts off of it as most of you here would have. To restore this one would cost way to much as many of you know already. It would be cheaper just to buy a restored carrier. I have a lead on another carrier that is more restorable. When I can afford it I will go after and buy it to restore. I love carries, anything with tracks really.
