Wow, Thomas, You've come a long way. Looking good! I did notice your clutch pressure plate is very different that the ones I've seen and have. very interesting. Keep up the good work! ;D

Restoring it to an M15 or M15A1 would be incredibly difficult.  But not impossible.

Nice work. Are you going to put the quad mount in the back? If you are it should sit on a large box that bolts to the frame and it appears you are constructing the rear troop seats for a personel carrier rather than a multiple gun motor carriage. Here is a picture of the box on mine. You can see the front and top of it in this picture after I have removed the rusty large ammo box mounted in the floor in front of the quad. The top of the quad box is level with the top of the horizontal track armor and the side track armor bolts to the side of the box. The support ring(s) then bolt to the box. I realize International may be different just wanted to mention this so you were aware. If you look closely at the top of the box you can see the outline for the curve where the ring was in the bottom right corner.
