Thats a nice carrier; I was sure it would not be on John's site for very long.
I'll second Lynn's recommendation about the warp steering system; restore it. Without the warp system the brakes tend to overheat and fade, making steering very poor. It is amazing how much steering is accomplished by the warping of the tracks.

Warp steering
I recommend that you fix the warp steering it makes driving the carrier much more pleasant.at top speed it is very smooth.

Also buddy beware that the exhaust covers on the rear deck contain asbestos as do the heat shields behind the mufflers, so be carefull. I have schematics for the center plate looking at what is left it will be a sinch to replace the missing bits.
may be able to assist with gauges etc too.
