Im having a open house at the shop on Sept 27th. A party being thrown by the owner of the 66 im buildingr and the deal was the truck has to be done. I know all about the crunch! But I think thats what makes it fun!. You guys have a good pace going. It will make it.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

anytime Mike... we got the shop space and the time.
let's do it!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Yes sir, the crunch is real !
Thinking Saturday evening or Sunday morning to bring it over, depends on how much I get done tonight !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

super clean build

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Well here is the only good thing to come out of my friend Gary closing his shop........ I picked up some great new tools for mine !

Brake, shear and a bead roller with a great assortment of dies and a full set of dimple dies

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

A complete Rotiseree with a set off off road wheels to go with it, a Milwaukee chop saw and a couple of heaters. Oh and a whole pile of all different kinds of metal scraps

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Nice score on the new experienced tools. To bad Gary had to close, but he was looking out for you it seems...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

nice idea on the table around the beadroller , havent seen that before

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

What do you do when you want to run bigger 4 piston SSBC calipers but you want to run the narrower CPP spindles....you design new brackets !

I also started the reassembly process.....cant wait !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Man am I pumped about this.....CLEM is KILLING it on the frame body work, thanks for saving my butt CLEM !!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Awesome

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike, nice job on the new bracket, looks great all together. Frame is coming out nice...Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike, I am sure that you already know this, but Clem kills everything that he touches!
Your stuff is in good hands!!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

This build is really making my head and heart happy.

Glad Clem is hitting it hard.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I have to say this Is getting pretty exciting right now , this chassis is going to fly together once Clem finishes the frame rails !

The Currie 9 inch came in today, narrowed with 35 spline axles, 4:11 gears and a tru trac differential and a polished center section ...im in LOVE !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I also picked up a few more pieces that my friend Rick Shull painted for me with the Valspar Auto paint. I copied SuperflySteiny on the Magnuson paint jobs, that was one of my favorite things on Tootsie. A few Porterbuilt pieces and I assembeled the front spindles (packed bearings and all, ready to bolt on)

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

What are you going to run for a front pulley system?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Wegner Motorsports front drive system

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I just talked to them about the same setup. Sound like the logical system with a 2 belt system. I am not so sure about running boost with a 1 belt. They said it is about $2700.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike, it's always a thrill to watch your builds come together...all the pictures really make it top notch. Keep up the killer build, can't wait to see this thing complete and make its debut @ SEMA.

-Chuck

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Total eye candy Mike! This is going to be BADASS! Nice job!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Can't wait to see it in person! Looks killer from here

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Yes, nice setup hopefully installing it all the first of next week, pictures to come !
Thanks man !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

hot rod powertour next year maibe ?
should be a pretty relyable ride once its finished

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

It's exciting seeing color put down. I'm sure it will be awesome when you're done.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks guys !

I spent Saturday night working on the Wegner front drive setup, I have to say this is the easiest front drive setup that I have ever installed instructions are perfect and the parts fit exact ! I did however forget to paint a couple of the pulley covers ! LOl

I also started bolting together some of the air tank / brackets and started installing water traps and drains.

Did a test fit on the Porterbuilt watts link to the Currie 9 inch some modifications will have to be done to make it clear that huge aluminum center section...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

oops, here are the pics

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

We spent the day Sunday at Clems final sanding on the frame and getting it ready for paint.....and I forgot my camera ! Send me some pics Clem !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Good lord! Those are some sweet parts, looks awesome.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thats not so bad just need to grind a little of the polished housing





kidding :lol:

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Clem got that Valspar base/clear Charcoal Metallic Gray laid down on the frame and she looks pretty !! Thanks CLEM !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looks great! You've got plenty to get busy with now Mike. Find a body guy yet?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike, you can see you put a lot of work in the frame, and the paint shows it, nice work...Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Wow...i love that color!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thank you , yes Eddie Jewell of Jewells Restoration in MacAlister Oklahoma is knocking her out !
Thanks, Clem did a great job !
I think its really going to pop with all the pewterish/goldish accent pieces !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Wegners set up has an 8 rib set up for the blower and there is zero belt slip. We ran my truck up to 18 psi and there was zero slip. It is hands down the best belt drive set up for a magnuson.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looking good mike

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Cant wait ! Top notch set up !
Thanks man !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I love this part.....picked up the chassis last night from Clems and starting putting all the pretty parts together !!

Porterbuilt, porterbuilt, porterbuilt and a little more porterbuilt mixed in with some CPP spindles some SSBC big brakes a couple VIAIR 480s and those SEXY QA1 Street Stars !
