I have plans for a Israeli M3 (M30?) Super Lee, with HVSS suspension, 75mm CN-75-50 gun in the hull, remote weapon station replacing the 37mm turret & various other upgrades. It's near the bottom of the to-do list tho so dont expect it any time soon :P

Indeed.  Many years ago I thought of doing a whiff Leo 1 with ERA.  Have all the bits in the stash.  Now it is starting to feel like it is being overtaken by reality.
