Here are some photos (before and after a recent paint job) of a carrier I donated to the Sask Dragoons armoury about 20 years ago. It was just a lower hull, and I had a spare front armour to add to it. The side and rear armour, along with the engine covers, are all fabricated from 1/4 plate, and carriage bolted onto the hull. All in all it looked pretty good, and the 99.8% of people who don't collect military vehicles don't know anything is wrong.
I think you will be lucky to find a complete hull these days to use for such a project. They are just too valuable, and too many people have the internet so they have some idea what they are worth.
