as soon as we get a set back we are test fitting them on Colin Havens truck and he has billet hinges...so i should be able to answer that question shortly

boonedogs72 · 05-19-2011, 12:27 PM

cool thanks!

69CST-V · 05-19-2011, 12:36 PM

Cheby, If you serious about the patent you don't have to go all out at first. You can do a patent pending and make it very broad so it will encompass as much as possible. That will slow any copy cats. The true patent won't be an inner fender. It will be something to do with the material used and the function of your design to make room for more wheel travel. Inner fenders would be concidered prior art so that would be unpatentable. Just FYI in case your moving in that direction.

Good luck and the plugs look good. How much do they weigh?

**67cheby** · 05-19-2011, 01:06 PM

i dont know what the fender will weigh ?? the factory ones weighed about 14.5 pds apiece so hopefully lighter than that, the plugs weigh about 50 pds with all of the reinforcement ...LOL, i am working on a Carbon FIber version also if you are concerned about weight

69CST-V · 05-19-2011, 01:14 PM

The only reason I asked was when I raced back in the day they had two weights of fiberglass parts. The light parts failed on the street. They cracked and broke at the mounting points and had stress cracks everywhere. Weight wasn't the issue. Maybe I should have asked how thick are they in the wheel arch where they will see rocks and debris? Carbon fiber would be cool though...LOL

they will be thick, and i dont remember what it is called but the guys building them are putting a layer of something in them to keep them from being damaged by rocks and such, the company i am using to build them is a PROFESSIONAL company they build kit cars , semi noses and several other parts

**67cheby** · 05-19-2011, 01:18 PM

oh and ya...the Carbon ones will be a little expensive $$$$$$$$

69CST-V · 05-19-2011, 01:20 PM

So some kind of membrain to absorb the impact or something along those lines. I will be intersted to see the finish product. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the replies.

**67cheby** · 05-19-2011, 01:22 PM

no problem thanks for asking and watching !! there will be a big announcement coming soon as i get the first ones back to do test fit and fire off the production line !!! hopefully about 2 more weeks for the first sets !!

thor · 05-19-2011, 02:00 PM

sorry if i missed this but what is the diameter of the SloshTubz?

**67cheby** · 05-19-2011, 02:23 PM

i will get all of the exact measurements in about 2 weeks when i get the first few sets back from the glass company, right now they have them and they are to far away from me for me to go measure them , if you look back a few pages in my build thread you will see a few pics of the drivers side installed

**lolife99** · 05-19-2011, 02:49 PM

Welcome new "High Octane" vendor!
Shoot me a PM when they are production ready, with a price.
(I will most likely pick up a set vs having them shipped,... if I decide to purchase a set)

VA72C10 · 05-19-2011, 03:06 PM

Welcome fellow High Octaner

**67cheby** · 05-19-2011, 03:24 PM

I have one of the best carbon guys in the buisness if your price is to high let me know. He has been laying up carbon for IRL cars forever. He is in Indiana but he is good. We were talking about building one of these trucks complete cab, bed, doors and hood out of carbon. Let me know if you need his number.
