I have begun my carrier's transformation

[Jon Bradshaw]

So after reading and trying a few things on how to resize photos I have finally got this sorted. I will post a series of photos showing how I have assembled this to this point. The track jack I made from a modified M113 track jack, it works well, especially with a cordless impact on it.

Well done Jon.
Sometimes the restriction of restoration can be annoying and I feel it would be refreshing to have the freedom of choice, to do what ever I want.
I am wondering how you tie it down? These comments will either help you or educate me.
Over here the guys seem to tie down the suspension(forward and aft through the bogie wheels) rather than tying down the hull, because the carrier moves too much when they are tied at the tow/ lift eyes.
The eyes might be o.k. to use when the pull is in the horizontal plane, but not pulling downwards.
Maybe you haven't carted it anywhere yet?
