Mike, progress is looking good. I have been following on FB, but the pictures here are easier on my eyes then trying to see the detail on my phone...LOL.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
See why i love this board??.....if u chose to do so....u could run those last 10 posts or so as a DYI on sheetmetal replacement .and show those that don't think they can that its not that hard with planning and a few good tools and some common sense! I preach that it ain't rocket science ......just a lotta patience and the "want -to"....and the trick is to know your strengths and weakness's and farm out what makes better since and "cents"....lol.....U and I and 100's of others on this board have built many,many rides with the above plan and hopefully others will see the light on the rewards in the end....I used to show a 30k truck i built against 150k trucks in early 90's ..Question always was "why do u keep bringing yours when u know they will out point u?"....My response was always "yep they sure do .....their about 6 points ahead...what is that ??....oh yeah 20k per point!!! I'm ok with that!!!"......and i had just as much fun......jim

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Just read all 15 pages! Progress is looking good! I'm in the middle of finishing up my drivers side rust repair, that is almost identical to what you just tackled. Keep up the good work!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
OK--I get that the remote control tailgate actuator is overkill! But I saw this idea in theastronaut's thread (from several years back). I like this trick:
"Had a pair of tailgate hinge bushings made from UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weigh polyethylene). UHMW is self lubricating, is soft enough to keep the paint from chipping inside the hinge sockets, and hard enough to keep the tailgate in place. They fit tight enough in the hinge socket that they won't rattle either. Much better than the original metal bushings."

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting either. Its taking me longer than it took you to do the repairs, but I'm almost there. Haha! I know you said you were going with a short box, but have you seen the shlong beds? (Short+Long). I really like that look. Just throwing that option out there
