Mike and your broad team, I have nothing of value to add to improve your build, but feel the urge to just say again: Thank you for sharing your build, inspiring many of us to stretch our own imaginations and up our games.

I just shake my head in awe.

Three weeks before I am in Searcy, then Fayetteville.......:metal:

Next I built a mount for the AccuAir valve body and started plumbing the air ride

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Looks good Mike. Your hard lines for the air system are outstanding!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Mike, nice job on the hardlines, everything is looking killer...Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

looks great
might need to add a few pipeholders here and there to prevent it from vibrating and break over time but i guess you get to that later

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

:four::five: this is how it must feel after you plumb hard lines that look that good. outstanding!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

thanks man !
thanks Jim
yes there will be mounts
LOL !! Thanks !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

This dude Clem of Tuba Trucks is Awesome, if you haven't had the pleasure to meet him you need to get to his upcoming party and meet him !

Clem came over last night, brought dinner and we wet sanded and buffed most of the frame.

Also picked up the Flowmaster exhaust , I had it Jet Hot coated. I cant wait to hang it all !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Man you should start doing this for a living!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

LOL, I thought for a minute you said you were wet-sanding and buffing the frame - wait, what?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I might hate it then ! LOL
LOL....yes we did

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Well I got a little more polishing done and started bolting up that Flowmaster exhaust last night. I am now a firm believer in V-bands and the one from Ace Race Parts are top notch and a good bargain. I am happy with my first exhaust job, I now know the things to look for and the things to do different next time but overall I am pleased with it.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Ok... I am sta t ing to see another road trip 8n my future to see this in person

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Well here is some real progress , Eddie Jewell of Rusty Jewells Restorations in Mcalaster OK with a crew of friends has got that almost all of that Valspar Auto paint laid down on Boosted Bertha !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

After work last night I ran the chassis down to start assembly

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

WOW!! I wasn't sure about the color at first, seeing it on the panels separately, but with that cab on the frame, I'm sold!!! That's going to look awesome when it's put together!!! :metal:
