Hey Bigballer! can I get some pointers as to how you used the styrene? Did you make a mold and heated the styrene to make the form you wanted? Did you cut pieces and glued them together? Any info would be much appreciated.

this is a classic snugtop



a tonneau cover is a snugLID like this



and +1 on making your own...
local guy made this one.


and did a How-To write up on doing it:

it seems daunting but having only recently started working with styrene myself I can tell you once you get into it its easy.

You can check out Matt over @ scalehobbies.com.He makes snugtops for the Clod body as well as a topper for the Hi-Lift/Juggernaut body and I think he made on for the Mountaineer as well.
I have one made for the Clod(Chevy) body.Pretty awesome detail on it.
