Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
I can take a picture tonight, the front of the tub by the core support on the hood edge has 2 mounting points and the rear right by the firewall they are the factory mounting holes. The flash on the camera kind of makes them disappear

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Ok... I get a clearer image now. I knew of the bolts along the inner-to-outer fenders. So basically the 3 middle bolts are no longer there (trimmed away for clearance) but the fore/aft bolts are still utilized.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Yes sir, you got it. There is a flange underneath where you could attach more bolts where the 3 were, it just gives it a cleaner look without them

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"

I'll start saving for the tubz now.
How much are you going to sell the filler panels for?
