And your not going to go into detail what you did on the show?

Default Tankenstein

Sorry everyone, I mean no disrespect. I did a little of every thing for discovery channel. I worked on the ram bar for the tank on the front. Kind of going for a hedge row buster look from ww2 but upside down. I got the monster trike running a bit but not good enuff to drive. Then I did some hot laps in the field and rammed into a car. Not sure if I want to do that again. lol. It was fun but don't want to bust her all up like that.
I know some people don't like what I did to this carrier but the damage was already done. You have to look at the bigger pic. I make money online from the videos I make so some day hope to make enuff too buy a restored carrier or a better one to restore. Maybe Tankenstein then will be used for parts but I don't think so. I might as well have fun for now with it and get younger people intrested in tracked vehicles.

I love it.
It's yours, do what you want.
If you didn't have it it would still be rusting away or heading to china on a ship as scrap.

I have to agree with Ryan. It's yours to do as you see fit. It's not like you cut the upper armour off to make it.

I have 3 spare hulls out back in varying degrees of completeness. But there are about a dozen other projects lined up before anything ever gets done with any of them.

Your vehicle (and the others shown) make me smile a little.

Default I second that.

As Rob says they are yours to do as you see fit. As a guy doing his own thing with an old chopped up T16 I can appreciate any "restoration" or use is better than letting it rust away or go for scrap.

I still find it a great way to have fun with the remains of a carrier, find a better one and keep Tankenstein for the fun
