Great progress, Mike! Im interested in the high HP road this one is taking. Are Peg's new owners happy? Can't wait for the next installment!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Hey Mike a recommendation for a Nice Motel/Hotel close by the shop that allows dogs would be appreciated...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Stay tuned, this one is going to be a Blast !! Porterbuilt sent me some sneak photos last night......CANT WAIT !

Me too Wes of Injected Customs is going to KILL this Powertrain build !

The Cherokee Casino is just a couple miles away and I believe it is $59 a night, I don't know about animals though ?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

CASINO???... Yeach baby... but probably no dogs...

So are you going to have Wes' guys at JCJ customs do your paint?

[quote=bumwine;6915910]No the paint and body will be done by Gary Angel of Street Driven Customs out of Centerton Arkansas

Anyone have any easy methods for stripping the undercoating off the bottom of the cab ?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

lay it down belly up poor gas over it and set it on fire

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

LOL....well that's one method !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I seen that coating taken off with a propane torch and a metal scraper...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

That is actually what I was thinking about doing

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

i seen that done the same way , it gets realy sticky and still can catch fire or drip and stick to youre skin burning you , its realy tedious work too

its an oil product basicly bitumen so gas petroleum ir sumtin like that will desolve the final bit sticking to the metal once you stripped all you can with the torch

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Best Thing Being Useing butane torch metal Scraper and. Good Mask Don't no what Chemical Are in Coating Been Doing it this way forever

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Sand blast... works great as long as you have someone that knows what they are doing....

Second best is a torch and scrapper...

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

allways figured the sandblasting would just mud up the undercoating not remove it , maibe they need to heat it up with the blast to get it to let go
maibe they use a waterjet with sand that might work

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I don't know about using a torch...Seems to me like you would warp the sheet-metal badly.
If you look back to page #1 of my thread, I used a twisted wire wheel in a small Dewalt grinder, and it didn't go too bad, it seemed to take it right off if you leaned into it a bit....In the tight corners I used a twisted wire brush made for a die-grinder that had the wires sticking out from the face of it, but put it in a 90-grinder....Don't skimp on the face/eye protection though, because after a while the wires start letting go! As far as I can remember I and/or my son did it in 4-5 hours, and if you look later in the build thread when it is painted, it looks stellar!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

i use an air chisel and finish up with 36 grit on a DA. by now most of the stuff gets rock hard and it was easier to chisel and sand. but i bet a wire wheel would work for the cleanup around the rolls and edges. .02

This the pic I have seen with the huge watts link?

I poked around and seems the oscillating multitool works best. I used one on a job to cut aluminum panels and such.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

This.....just have to be sensible with how much heat you put into the surface. A good heat gun would likely work as well. Aircraft stripper works too, but it is nasty and messy.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Ive tried believe it or not. easy off oven cleaner. let it sit over night then scrape it off. dosent get all of it but does get a lot. used this method on a Camaro a few years back. when I did it suggestions were to use only easy off. good luck. worth a try.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

I was just thinking using a hand held butane torch to soften it (not get it to hot)
considering this !

Its going to Media blast next week, just wanting to get the big stuff off first !

Maybe so !
We will try a few different techniques this week
Hmmmm.....
yes sir !
ok I will check that out !
I will try !
I will try it !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

There's pics on the first Yeller thread of me rockin' the wire wheel on ours- worked pretty good.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
 

Thanks man, I will check it out !

Well me and my friend Brian busted out tear down day #2 while my wife and daughter took funny pictures of us ! LOL
