Carrier "RestoMod" in Oklahoma

[Alex Blair (RIP)]

Ross.
You are doing the right thing...rebuilding for your own enjoyment..
You are not trying to misrepresent your intentions and saving a historic vehicle to boot..
The only thing I question is why you would only cut a tiny little hole to see through in your "Front armour"??
Why not put a couple of decent sized flat windows in the beasty and gasketed Lexan panels would work wonders..see all the wild life on the farm and look good to boot..
And one on each side of the drivers /gunners seat would let you see all over the place..
Looks great..carry on..

Alex,

Haha.. Thanks for the comments. The little cutout in the front is just a hole that was in the box that I used for the mockup. I should have taped something across it. As mentioned in the text above those pictures, I stole that box from my daughter and that was just a hole she had cut for something.

Actually, the vantage point from my view when sitting in the seats is very good. I can see the ground probably within 10' of the carrier without effort and the field of fiew on the side is almost 180 degrees. I am pondering some plexiglass visors that fold under in that front drop down but will probably just wait until I get it built and see how it works.

The metal is supposed to be in today so I should have some new pics to post within the next few days. We'll see...

each to they're own as they say... at least it can be reversed as you say speak with Martyn on here if you look at his build thread you will see what he has achieved, plus he has all the patterns.
