Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

The top of the notch cover came out so nice that I decided the bottom should match

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

seen embossing done on a trunklid , the guy used waterjet letters made from sheetmetal , a hydraulic bottlejack press and a piece of realy high density rubber
basicly he layed the letter out how he wanted it across the material and pressed it piece by piece through the material intoo the rubber with the press
the story told me he had to experiment a bit with how mush force to use for the best results but he was able to do it with the spall bottle jack press by pressing one letter at a time

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"

Want to sell the corners of those hoods? I have two apache hoods and the corners are shot. Was going to attempt to make them but they won't be fun.

Notch cover looks good. Funny thing is I was actually just thinking today that it would look cool if I were to try and bead roll the V into my floor/air ride cover them I got on here and see you did it. Lol

they are probably out there. There have been quite a few porterbuilt style builds , and at some point those guys will get tired of cleaning the mud off their engines!

Sitting on the stand vs installed is 2 different things.

True.... but I'll toss this out there... It needs to flow w/the engine compartment.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Well hopefully a few people will like my flow. I have always hated how the 60-66 inner fenders look so I wanted to change it completely. Some people will like it some wont, and I can live with that. I have come to realize not everyone has the same taste as me and not everyone will buy my product. I am a small company and I keep my margins low so I wont need to sell a million sets for them to justify the time I spent on them.

You definitely don't have to worry about sales. You have plenty that are going to buy as soon as they are available. I know I'm far out from needing them, but that's not going to stop me from buying them as soon as possible. I follow this build everyday, opening the page and clicking refresh hoping you've got something new. Excellent work.
Are you changing anything on the front end, grill, bumpers, etc? Have you seen the Lime Crush Suburban grill? I would love to order that thing for my truck

Damn those look nice.....I may have to buy those...

Based on my current rate of work, you can expect an email from me in about 4 years (man I wish I was kidding).

Great build!
