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 Siding I plan to use Countersinking in progress Sides all drilled Counter-sunk-vs-botton heads Enjoy

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?? |
