What, you're not running the AC/DC wheels?

Bed looks killer Mike!

That'll be worth your effort Mike. Looks great! The PB stuff is super nice and looks well engineered but the "bolt-on" look doesn't cut it for builds at your level. I have a few No Limit Engineering "kits" that I'll be welding out once I blow it all apart again.

Motor done?

My Wife and I had the opportunity to drive down to Siloam Springs today and Meet Mike and his Beautiful Bride Sarah today... Also got to see The work going on with Boosted Bertha... Mike is truly a artist with the direction he is going with this truck... The workmanship is Excellent... SEMA 2015???... LOL... you better really start humping... LOL... actually with the progress he has made on this truck I think the deadline he told me today is very obtainable... When you get it rolling and you want a REAL GOOD shake down drive come on up to Winfield, Ks... It is only about 3.5 hours from you... We would love to host you guys for dinner and drinks...

The main reason I went to Siloam though was to Meet Mike and Sarah and to see "Cloud 9"... Guys... I am in love with this truck... The workmanship is Awesome... All of the pictures you have ever seen of this truck does not do this truck ANY justice... The eye for detail is over the top...

Thank You two for letting us impose on you this Sunday afternoon... It was great finally actually meeting you both... Soon a "3 Deuces" is completed I would love to get a photo shoot of the tow of them side by side...

Well good news is I had a very productive weekend with the R and D on the 60-66 Slosh Tubz !

Bad news....I don't want to post any pictures until they are completed !

Our plan is to have them into production by early summer so stay tuned !
