I am in Tennessee, I can be the last fall back position if the onslaught
catches us off gaurd. I like the idea of a Hetzer style vehicle, but won't
it be hard to stuff everything inside? I have been toying with the idea of
adapting a large scale 4x4 rc truck into a South African Eland 90 armored
car. Simple shape to recreate and by going this route the suspension would
already be built. It most likely would not have traverse at first but a
fixed turrent.  The Eland 90 was a license built copy of  the French Panhard
Aml90.

 It is fast and had a big gun for so small a vehicle.
Is there anyone else in the Volunteer state willing to support our Northern
Brethren against the Canadian hordes?
