Well, finally found one, it's better than I ever imagined.
The name comes from a video game I used to play in my younger days, that's what they called the tank, it sounds silly but I kinda like it haha

Pictures:
#1 coming out of the garage
#2getting gas
#3 In a new home
#4/5 just a few concepts probably wont happen, some of it maybe... but it'd be my ultimate eagle Gunmetal over black with redwood vinyl, a hornet front clip, and hornet rear tailight/bumper assembly, with a bunch of other things

At the moment I'm working on sealing areas where water is leaking in and installing a new set of wheels and tires, I'll post on this thread as it Progresses!

Looking good. You sure those are 4.5" backspacing? Looks to be a lot less than that considering how far they stick out. Unless it's the absence of flares causing an optical illusion.
