Hopper BTM Bld
Guys and Gals, I will post pics of the upcoming Hopper BTM. Please be patient with me/us, as this is the prototype and may undergo a few changes. Please feel free to ask questions. As, i stated on Iz's post, this kit was very easy to assemble. I used button-head screws just to see how it looked all put together. Tonight, I tore it all down and began to counter-sinking all the screws.
Pieces laid out http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3096.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3097.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3098.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3099.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3100.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3102.jpg Siding I plan to use http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/IMG_3103.jpg Countersinking in progress http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/100_2797.jpg Sides all drilled http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/100_2802.jpg Counter-sunk-vs-botton heads http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t/100_2804.jpg Enjoy |

Re: Hopper BTM Bld
Trailer looks nice. Kind of has to with you and Izzy working on it:rolleyes: Any thought of using flat head allen screws instead of the phillips? Might look better???

Re: Hopper BTM Bld
Rob - your adder piece for the rear has end forms - do you think this should be going forward all as one piece?
|
Re: Hopper BTM Bld
Izzy, yes, you are correct it should be one piece.

Re: Hopper BTM Bld
Rob - we talked about dropping the ICC bumper all together - thinking that it detracts from the trailer looks.....what if I supplied a filler panel like you made that attaches like the ICC for those who want a look closer to yours but have the flexability to still have the ICC bumper.....
Any one what to chime in on this?? |
