Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

1 more question...
Are you going to be offering filler and firewall panels as well?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Yes sir !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

60-66 Slosh Tubz are ready, this is the first set out of the mold and test fit is perfect !

They are built around Porterbuilts complete front suspension with 1 inch narrowed arms. Laying frame they can clear up to a 30 inch tire and wheel combo. Running a 265-35-22 you can turn lock to lock at ride height (frame 5 inches off of the ground) rolling lower then that and turning with a 265-35-22 you are going to run into your fender and firewall. They clear the Porterbuilt shock mounts and will clear an 8 inch booster on the firewall.

They bolt in with the 3 bolts under each side of the core support in front and 3 bolts in top of the fender. There is another mounting point designed to bolt to the front cab floor support brace that runs partially up the firewall.

a few more

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

They are also fully skirted in the rear to protect the firewall

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Measurments

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

New tubs look good!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thank you !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Amazing work!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

They look good. Great progress on the truck. Did you swap the bags in front to get to 10"lift. I see the backs are 9100 now.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks man !
They are just the front bags that Porterbuilt sent me, I don't even know which ones they are ! LOL. The 9100's in the back make all the difference in the world when it comes to lift !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Very nice work on the tubz. The whole truck is amazing!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks man, Stock rear tubs widened 4 inches are going in for molds this week also !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

you know...... if youre selling those inner fenders a lot it might be worth it to see if they can be made out of abs plastic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQQm9mQ8CLo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9Dqm-Z7QAY

prolly best to find someone to do it for you
the innitial purchase of the machine is pretty steep and the power consumption prolly too with those heating elements
the plastic you could use is the same stuff they use to make bumpers wish is pretty mush shatterproof and can be bent intoo a pretsel and jump back intoo form
works fast and gives a clean surface and doesnt smell up the neighbourhood with fiberglass resin either

the mould prolly need to be pretty solid and heatresistant

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Can you highlight the "3x top of the fender" mounting points in a pic for reference?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I can take a picture tonight, the front of the tub by the core support on the hood edge has 2 mounting points and the rear right by the firewall they are the factory mounting holes. The flash on the camera kind of makes them disappear

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Ok... I get a clearer image now. I knew of the bolts along the inner-to-outer fenders. So basically the 3 middle bolts are no longer there (trimmed away for clearance) but the fore/aft bolts are still utilized.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Yes sir, you got it. There is a flange underneath where you could attach more bolts where the 3 were, it just gives it a cleaner look without them

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

On the rear of the tubz, where they're skirted, how much clearance is there between the tubz and the firewall? do they run flush together or is there some room? I'm asking because I'm wanting to modify the firewall at the bottom to gain more footroom for the pedals I want to run

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

they are tight right at the bend but you have some room from there down, the nice thing about glass is that they are easy to modify (you could remove the skirt completely if it is in the way)

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

When are you going to begin taking orders for the tubz and the filler panels and do you have an idea of the introductory price yet on each?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I am hoping my manufacturer will get back with me a price today, as soon as they do I will post it ! I ordered 10 sets earlier today, we will see !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

One busy man...........looks killer..........jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

saw your truck in the Streetrucks mag yesterday cant wait to see it at sema!!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Here is the Rendering done by Tavis Highlander

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

you done some realy good fabrication and you made some nice choices on the wheels

i never liked the way the headlights sit in the nose on this model truck though
if i was the designer i prolly wouldve placed them higher like in the hood of the truck with the indicator lights under them in the grille
would make the griller narrower too basicly plate where the headlights sit close

think they changed it this way because my way would make it look a lot more like the 57 truck

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks Jim, we are trying !
I cant wait to get my copy !
I can afford to modify the expensive stuff like , grills and bumpers because of the insane expensive of the plating process . That being said I try to make everything look as custom as possible and still use all the factory partsl

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

think the plating is as expensive because the companies doing it need to pay big premiums on the chemical disposal more than the plating itself
you might be better of in mexico

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Congrats on the first set Mike! Looks like they've turned out sweet and you're getting a great response :metal:
