I just did some video with the daily planet on discovery channel. should be on in a few weeks. Tracks got very lose and will now need to remove a few links from each side. I will try to add picks but not sure if it will work. I have a lot of work to do to the tracks before I move it again.

Well its a very good thing you didn't choke on it then, as I'm not sure what the world would do if you had died lol.

there's nothing like the mutual respect and understanding that we all share for each other on the forum

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

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.

rob love · #9 12-02-15, 04:12

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.

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
