Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
They look good. Great progress on the truck. Did you swap the bags in front to get to 10"lift. I see the backs are 9100 now.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
thanks man !
They are just the front bags that Porterbuilt sent me, I don't even know which ones they are ! LOL. The 9100's in the back make all the difference in the world when it comes to lift ! |

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
you know...... if youre selling those inner fenders a lot it might be worth it to see if they can be made out of abs plastic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQQm9mQ8CLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9Dqm-Z7QAY prolly best to find someone to do it for you the innitial purchase of the machine is pretty steep and the power consumption prolly too with those heating elements the plastic you could use is the same stuff they use to make bumpers wish is pretty mush shatterproof and can be bent intoo a pretsel and jump back intoo form works fast and gives a clean surface and doesnt smell up the neighbourhood with fiberglass resin either the mould prolly need to be pretty solid and heatresistant

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
On the rear of the tubz, where they're skirted, how much clearance is there between the tubz and the firewall? do they run flush together or is there some room? I'm asking because I'm wanting to modify the firewall at the bottom to gain more footroom for the pedals I want to run

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
When are you going to begin taking orders for the tubz and the filler panels and do you have an idea of the introductory price yet on each?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
you done some realy good fabrication and you made some nice choices on the wheels
i never liked the way the headlights sit in the nose on this model truck though if i was the designer i prolly wouldve placed them higher like in the hood of the truck with the indicator lights under them in the grille would make the griller narrower too basicly plate where the headlights sit close think they changed it this way because my way would make it look a lot more like the 57 truck

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
think the plating is as expensive because the companies doing it need to pay big premiums on the chemical disposal more than the plating itself
you might be better of in mexico

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
I decided it was getting a little cramped in the engine compartment so I raised and widened the core support opening so I could suck that huge Flex-a-Lite radiator in real nice and tight ! It wont be left all boxy looking she will get some sexy curves before I am done !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
might be able to add an intake bell intoo the sheetmetal on one side of the radiator support on one side for cool air to the compressor
