Yes, that looks like it started out as a Tow'd. Check with Dave Barrett, he may know where the Sand Hopper mold went, I think I heard Texas maybe

Where are you at Russ?

Meyers Manx actually have the mould for a tub , they just don't advertise the fact .
The only thing is , is i don't know whether you would get a tub to fit depending on whether your roll cage is removable and jointed where.
I would NOT totally remove the full roll cage just to have an original Tow'd , as it' is better to be safe than original if your heading that way with the car .
Keep us all posted as it is another Tow'd and as a Tow'd owner we're all keen for more of that

I've seen Tow'ds with cages. I suppose I would fit the body to it, then decide how to add a cage.

I do have a 2nd extra tub but I had promised it to someone to be used as garage art, I would have to check to see if he still wants it. The previous owner had drilled a bunch of holes that would need filling though. I'm located in So-Cal 1/2 hr north/west of Los Angeles.

Getting it back on the road is a much better use than garage art

I have a never installed tub for my wife's build, and the recipient of the mock up tub already has a running Tow'd. The mock up tub has a few holes drilled in the floor board that would need to be filled.

Russ40, I also live in Prescott and have 2 Tow'ds #437 and #673. I built a Tow'd clone in my teens and am now reliving that experence, but with the real thing this time. PM me and we can get together and swap stories.
