I finally got a Persuader the other day so now my 2 Backstops have a ride. Now I have the only Canadian Joe with his vehicle.
The Argentina Backstop was a commission that I had someone do for me. All I did was remove the tank on his belt and painted the helmet and oxygen mask. The regular Backstop was made using a 50th Beachhead s the base. I did not want to paint the pants yellow so I just did his belt yellow. He looks more tactical with the camo pants anyways. The head is a Star Wars pilot. I thought about giving him the vintage pistol but it was just too big. I like the one I used better just cause it can fit in the holster. In the Persuader (I forgot to put the missiles on for most of the pictures) I had to cut out the front bucket part of the cockpit on the inside as the modern figure's legs are too long to fit inside. You can see the section that was cut out so his feet can fit in there. They rest on top of the bumper mechanism so it all worked out. With all the missiles:

I have the helmet but didn't worked on it yet. May have to resume that one soon.
Nice job

Only Canadian Joe in US canon. Some of the Canadian file cards were changed, like Grunt being from Quebec.

It just seemed weird that the USS Flagg was flying a Canadian flag. If they were so anal about Canadianizing everything, they should have just renamed it the HMCS Flagg for the Canadian market.

Since the new Backstop is too expensive for me, I thought I'd just take out my custom one and take some more pics. At least my Backstop will not be a target outside his vehicle cause he doesn't have day-glo yellow pants.
Here's a picture showing the front of the seating area that needs to be cut out for modern figures to fit.

Here's some reposted Backstop pics using a different host as well as a nice pic showing what needs to be cut out of the Persuader for him to fit. (Needs to be done even with the club Backstop).
The part that needs to be removed from the Persuader (you have to open it up and cut the front part of the tub, it's obvious once you open it up) In his vehicle:
