Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
looks great
might need to add a few pipeholders here and there to prevent it from vibrating and break over time but i guess you get to that later

This dude Clem of Tuba Trucks is Awesome, if you haven't had the pleasure to meet him you need to get to his upcoming party and meet him !
Clem came over last night, brought dinner and we wet sanded and buffed most of the frame. Also picked up the Flowmaster exhaust , I had it Jet Hot coated. I cant wait to hang it all ! |

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Well I got a little more polishing done and started bolting up that Flowmaster exhaust last night. I am now a firm believer in V-bands and the one from Ace Race Parts are top notch and a good bargain. I am happy with my first exhaust job, I now know the things to look for and the things to do different next time but overall I am pleased with it.

WOW!! I wasn't sure about the color at first, seeing it on the panels separately, but with that cab on the frame, I'm sold!!! That's going to look awesome when it's put together!!!
