Timpet Super Hopper..

Been working on this one on and off and just never got around to posting build picks so here is what I have.. I have added the legs and support bars I have to left to do and with Robberts help I have gotten the tarp hoops in I have yet to build the ends. I have to get the ribbed panel chromed and reinstalled today and finish the plastic work on the nose and the rounded corners on the nose so i can get the sides and nose painted so I can work on the small details but here is what I have so far..

Here is the truck I am building it for, for the most part I want it to look nice behind all the trucks but the black and red truck use to pull a black one everyday so I will be spraying it black.
