Nicely done. The finished tub & panel look right at home.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Panels look great. What gauge metal are you using to create the panels?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

I really like the Bead rolling on the sides... That will really look great once completed... The Wheel Tubs look Great... You are (as usual) doing a awesome job on this truck...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

What brand bead roller did you use? looks like an accurate machine did it. looks "factory" :metal: :metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

his bead roller is a Woodward fab 36 inch, it is a great bead roller !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Finally broke down and went all out and bought the Eastwood fancy schmancy brake / air / fuel line tool ! Along with a ton of stainless and aluminum line from Speedway

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

wat i usually do to straighten tube is clamp one end in the vice hold the other end in some visegrips and give it a few good yanks
as long as you support the line after youre done its straight as an arrow after that , just need to cut the ends off

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Get Imperal Tube Benders You Can Get a Tighter Bend Then Thst 3 in 1

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Hey 67cheby:

What gauge sheet are you using for the interior bed? When you bead roll, does it change the part dimensions? Do you have to bead roll and then cut the part to the proper dimensions after or can you bead roll after it cut?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Nice work Mike and Sarah!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
