Talking 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..

Thanks Much Troy..


I got a Little more done this weekend I was gone all weekend so to get the details i needed done so I could paint it make me very happy..

I got the last 2 bars added to the legs so now they can come off and get sprayed black..



I also got the rounded corners on the nose done and I polished everything just a little.





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.


Also got the chrome rear panel done to Thanks Much Robbert for the Help on this..



Thats it for now off to paint so i can get all the lights on it and the reflector stripe then I have the roll tarp gate cranks and the ladders and cat walks and make all the decals and t is done..
