So this is my baby I scored at this years JoeCon (2014). This shell came in a lot I paid $15 for, it was beat to heck. I had to cut pieces of the part that holds the wheels on to relocate and make use of the 4/5 wheels it came with, so now it's a 4wheeler, but I just love it. I wasn't even familiar or seen this vehicle b4. When I saw in my Bellamo catalog it's like pictures don't do it justice. I'm actually trying my hand at casting for this project and I'm just in the mock-up stage but I welcome all my fellow tankers to take this (what will be a long) journey to salvaging this beauty.

It's hard to tell from the pictures but I'm thinking maybe it's still a bit too long for four wheels. Again it's hard to tell but maybe use those new front seats in the middle and then cut the fenders off the original front seats. Then you can still use rear fenders and have a better fit with the front.

Here's a crazy idea, move the rear wheels up front and put treads on the back. Raider treads or even something bigger like brawler treads would work. Giant Half Track? Lol just an idea.
