Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Those are nice tall notches but does anyone make a notch that is not so tall....something between these and a simple c-notch?
Love your builds.......

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Yes sir, not sure how much yet but we will be running a Budnik Pivot, 22x12 with a 6 inch lip ! I personally think any more then 6 inches and you loose the face of the wheel . That's just my preference

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Im kinda wanting to do the same, only my wallet will decide how wide the lip is...curious to see the rear set up, I may have to get Nate and the boys to build me something similar to work with my back-half....keep up the great work!

Those bits are just so beautifully engineered.
They make me smile madly every time I see stuff like that.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Thanks Everyone !
Well the camera bit the dust so I am a few days behind so lets get caught up ! We started smoothing / shaving adding the frame notches for steering. After getting the notches in I decided to go ahead and shave the bump on the top of the pass frame rail, then all the holes in front of the notch. Next came the bump in front of the shock mount and fully welding in the shock mounts and Dropmember |

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
there was someone here in the netherlands that done the same thing but for a lowrider , he actually done some special paint muri eeeh mureals(whell airbrush paintings) and pinstriping on the frame , then again when that car is no show its stanced with one wheel way up and mirrors under the car
you done a realy nice job on that frame , hope i ever get patient and preciese enough to do the same thing
