Hi Shawn, looks like it is probably in Australia as the carrier is of Aust origin

Shawn, you will find that carrier on the wall of fame in the top 10 of carrier conversions. At least when people do said conversion it saves it from the scrap man !!

Reminds me of another Aussie one (on Stuart tracks) which achieved some phenomenal speed for a tracked vehicle. The tracks seemed to want to form a circle and the carrier rose up higher from the ground at speed.
It was on Keith's YOTC video.

It was indeed on my DVD (which all of you SHOULD buy of course). From memory it had a Mopar V8 in it.

Was on eBay years ago.
Gippsland in Victoria.
Did sell. No more than 4k.
Had a Ford 4.1 straight six in it.
I have wanted to track it down too.

I think Salesman Bob had this carrier listed as No:157 I belive this to be incorrect.
