Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
A few weekend updates !

Finished welding up the seams in the front of the LMC Truck fenders, after I get the front end all mocked up I will go back with 1/8 rod and make the body line

I hate how you can see the cab indentations between the back of the cab and the front of the bed so we capped the top 4 inches to hide it.

Got the doors all adjusted and started the gapping process

Made some more progress on the Flex-a-lite radiator cover , I wanted radius bends on it......that was a pain ! I took a 1 inch solid steel bar and beat the radius into it .

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
i been looking intoo carbon fiber
thinking about making the grille and the bumpers out of the stuff and clearcoat it
might make the side trim out of the stuff too
have a 78 pickup and want the grille to look more like one out of a 57 chevy truck but fitted in the regtangulair shape the original 78 grille is in , still thinking if i keep the headlight surounds or make round ones
__________________
i got a job again and having fun at it too

idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real

i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts

Do you have an up close pic of how you capped the indentions on the backside of the cab? Wondering what kind of radius you put in it to make it a smooth transition? Get what I'm saying?

cowl panel is bada** did he just cut out the vents and tig around the perimeter?
nice addition for a truck that does not need fresh air any more.
