Augdog1964 is the closest to me (about 35 miles) who has armor. My Brother was a tank driver.
If it were me and money were no object I'd use hydrostatic motors but I'm not sure how that would work. Works well for slow moving tracks.
Simple design would be a hull with road gear, suspension...
With enough money you can build almost anything you want.
You could start by putting to paper what your design goals are and then see what it would take.
Goals
Light or heavy weight?
Slow or fast?
Diesel, gas or turbine power?
Road gear?
Suspension?
Transmission?
You can turn a bulldozer...
