Where is it located?
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Looks like all those bullet holes will buff out. Based on the terrain it looks like Georgia to me.
 
That would be a very fun and expensive toy. I wonder if any of those hot rod rebuilding shows would tackle that rebuild?

I can imagine my wife and neighbors reacting to that being set in my front yard as it is as YARD ART. Even in Texas I am sure some would find it atrocious. I am also sure that it would be a strong deterrent to someone considering breaking into my house.

I can hear Ft. Knox from my house, just 4 miles away. The Stuart is a M3 with a flame thrower tube where the bow machine gun went.
I have a friend that can tell you just about anything about the Stuart series. He's probably restored more privately owned Stuarts than anybody else. He once got a notice from the city, that he had too many tanks in his front yard. He contacted the inspector and asked her what the limit was on tanks in the front yard. Kinda took the wind out of her sails.

It looks pretty good in the first photo...kinda downhill after that.
Reaction time is a factor...

Find one shot up on the other side, cut em in half and weld the good halves together. That's what a Brit did with a Sherman, except it was the front and rear halves.
