i thought whilst looking at the chassis it looked remarkably like a truck bed. in comparison to the Unversal carrier i would guess these must have been some what lighter ? i really love these things and after my Mk1* is complete i will probably go for one of these or perhaps a T16/Windsor.

Richard, I see that you have quickly moved to the tertiary stage of this terminal disease.

Default Just thinking... between beers....

....could you do the same reverse rotation using Chevrolet axles..... in fact why not just run the contraption with the engine in front.......and UC tracks..?

Got a spare CMP frame....lots of axles kicking around..... think I know where I can get the running gear from a UC in the woods for the taking......

Need another beer!!!!!

Up-date, all of the parts are done. just waiting for the paint (s.c.c. Nr2 Brown) and we will start building again. The engine is under construction so that will go good as well.
