AMAZING!!!! Alan you did a toxic hopper. It's really a pure beauty. And this color is very nice. Jonny retro used the same orange on its vw buggy. And these wheeles are fantastic too.
Congrats you can be proud of it. For a first one you have a high level.

Stingray nailed it . wouldnt say anything else. Great Job Dude

Thank you gentlemen as i said it has turned out way better than originally planned, tho it was steered down an extra path, courtesy of a certain member of this forum, mentioning no names.......Flo your front sway bar idea was pure genius pal, was the icing on the cake suspension wise
Just waiting on the mciracing "retro with a twist" decals that jonny retro designed for me now, tho dont know if ill affix them yet, she looks so pretty as she is, might just end up with spot light decals and a couple of sponsor decals under the rear wing and along the chassis So glad ive got the option of putting it back to normal body, wheels n side bars so i can have a blast with it before it goes on a shelf
Already thinking about manufacturing a rear nudge bar out of some 6mm aluminium tubing, its the only thing i can think of that would add to it

Looks great The 5-can orange has come out a lot better than my 3-can colour

Awesome Hopper you made there !
I love it...

Very cool Hopper!
First time I've seen a bumper painted like that, and it looks great!

Wow!! That might be the best hopper yet!

To be 100% honest the grasshopper is a car I have never really wanted because I thought they were so....so.............
.......what's the word................oh ya............CRAP!

You have completely changed my mind with this build, it is beautiful and the suspension mods are great too. I my reconsider my collection and add one.

BTW It's not the cars fault, I think it might be because I was already running better cars by the time the hopper came out that I have always looked at them as a cheaper "toy like" car and why would I want to go backwards. I totally respect what you have created and would be proud to have it my own collection, you should be too.

Thank you Lars
The bumper was spur of the moment, i was just looking at ways of using more of the paint up haha, loved it as soon as i saw the result, im surprised that no one seems to have done it before
