Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Can I get a set of those stickers? I will pm my address and send some cash. Really like the grey one… very cool.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Does anyone know what the color code is?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

So what kind of damage did BB incur from the hail? Also do you have a build thread for daily dime?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Say what? Say it aint so!!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks man!
It started out as a VW color "mango green" but we tweaked it a little
Mango Green with a little flair
You know you can have all you want and no money necessary my friend!
Truck was fine but the side moldings got dinged up pretty bad! Mar-K to the rescue with new side moldings! BEST moldings in the business!
It was a sickening feeling stuck in the middle of the interstate with all traffic at a stand still just listening to it POUND!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Why no finish pictures of the interior?

Where is the video of that engine running.

I spent the last 4 hours reading every line in these 55 pages, man do I feel ripped:lol:


did this truck ever get finished?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

First of all thanks for reading! Yes it did get done with a new and beautiful interior that it should have had the first time. Let me see if i can get some pictures off my phone to download here!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Let me be blunt.

You are not only a fantastic builder but you seem to be able to get very skilled teams together. That is an art form of its own.

How did the powertrain work out? You break any of that Porterbuilt stuff with the mountain of Horsepower you are twisting through it? ;)


VIDEO?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Here is the interior pictures, i built the door panels, Dash, Headliner, Seat , Speaker box and kick panels then had a friend cover it all.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Great job Mike, Congrats to you and your team.
Glad to have seen BB in the build stage & completed.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Great stuff Mike.

As Bomp said, it was great to have been there during the build stages too, knowing how much work went in and how many times you got kicked in the face/teeth and yet you just came back fighting harder every time.

Also your whole support team and friends and family did immensely well supporting you.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks guy, yes as said there is no way this build would have came even close to being completed without all the people that stepped up to lend a hand when the people i had lined up dropped out one by one! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that lent a hand on this build!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
