Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I spent a couple weeks building the 60-66 Slosh Tubz and I didn't want to show them until I had a finished product so stay tuned, many updates coming !!


I will take some pictures of the progress tonight !

yes sir , just couldn't handle it ! LOL

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Some of the best work on this forum!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks man, I appreciate that ! Stay tuned it is about to really take off ! Lots of AMAZING parts should be here in the next few weeks !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Here is a little progress, so as I said I was working on the new Slosh Tubz so I had to do quite a bit of fender trimming and after that was done it left the the LMC Truck fenders a little flimsy feeling so I welded in some nice 1/4 rod to finish it out nicely.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

then I went to work on widening the bed, after test fitting the bed I realized that the beds on these trucks are 5/8 narrower then the cab...I just couldn't handle that so I unbolted the LMC Truck front bed panel / spread the bed 5/8 on each side and welded it up solid. I also welded the metal in smooth where the bed sides lap over, just to give it a finished look. I am totally pumped about the way this came out !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

then I went to work gapping my widened LMC Truck rear wheel tubs so Gary Angel of Street Driven Customs wont be yelling at me when he goes to start all the body work ! I also worked on getting all the bed mounts dialed in, that will be finished tonight, then I get to start working on the hinged bed floor !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looks awesome:metal::metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Lots og great work going on there...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Very cool Mike! I didn't realize the beds were narrower than those cabs. Well done :metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks man !
thank you
me either, until I set the bed on and tried to line up one side and then the other side ! LOL....it was frustrating !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I really like the look of the widened bed. It makes it look so much more balanced.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

kindah wondered why they did that at the factory , maibe to keep the bed from catching dirt trown off the front wheels

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Truck looks great

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

For the few of you following this build here is a sneak peek at the 60-66 Slosh Tubz they will be in production in about 1 month !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Man you do nice work. Figured I should comment and jump onboard to see this thing through. Love how the frame has turned out with the PB stuff bolt-less, nice touch.:metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks man, I appreciate that ! I cant wait to get the frame all body worked and painted !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Well we got to run over to Clem and Kims place the other night...drooled over everything he has ...including his new "old" house it is more amazing then the gas station. This dude just rocks ! Anyway we picked up a couple donor hoods and me and the wife spent our 21st Anniversary night building a notch cover for Boosted Bertha !

I know I am the only one still digging notch covers but one of my pet peeves is bed floors that are 6 inches deep....I want it to still look like it has a bed

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looks really good man!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looks Killer! :metal:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

interesting, will you make them with a provision to bolt to the 3 rear bolt holes? the 2 upper and the 1 lower by the frame?
I like the skirt that drops down in front of the firewall- if chevy had done that a lot less of 60-66's would be rusted out.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Awesome!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

surely there's a sponsor out there that could supply this poor girl a respirator?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Love the notch cover, and the detail.

You guys are so fortunate having people like Clem and Kim and the various other members close enough to make visits a reality.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks !
LOL.....surely !
Thanks and yes sir we are, GREAT people !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I know I been on the road and missed some. Trying to ketchup with ya. Is there a picture of front fenders installed? I am running 245/45/18s so clearance won't be as high as yours.
