Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Mike that's a lot of work , but it's all in the game of modding, but it looks awesome . Making something that also comes apart makes the job and design a lot harder to do . I know this because of my job , a lot of the stuff we build has to be removable so an able bodied person can still drive the vehicle .

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Ok back to work , finally finishing up the rough in metal work on the dash. The dash will all be padded with a thin foam and smoothed out. The amazing Clem scored me a junk dash that I cut the top off of to use as a removable dash cap. I finally fitted all the guage parts and made them to where they would still be removable and started the center console. Ordered another hide and a half of that amazing Relicate leather to cover it all in, I cant wait to see it all smoothed out and covered !

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Wow Mike, I love what you've done so far on the interior. I checked out this truck when it was at SEMA, and I loved it. I'm glad you're on the interior because at SEMA, I knew you were under a crunch to get it there and you weren't happy with it because it wasn't up to your high standards.
Love the headliner idea, the dash kicks ass, and I can't wait to see what you've got in mind for the door panels. As much as I love the '60-'66 bodystyle, the stock interiors were always a little too "truckish" and need a lot of help to look right. I have similar plans, but not at the extreme level you're shooting for. Would have loved to BS'd with you at SEMA!

BoostedBertha will be set up in the KICKER audio booth at LoneStar Throwdown so my next step is to get everything installed. I must admit I am by no means a wood worker (and you can tell)

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
you can hide a lot of woodworking misstakes with carpet , just make sure the box itself is airtight
like that huge flas dash , it shouldnt be too hard to hide a tft screen behind it and use a computer / smartphone app to get interactive gauges like all those high end performance cars like ferrari and mercedes uses

Seeing pics of the work being done on Bertha is cool and all but MAN do I wish I could get another shot at getting to hang out and watch like a fly on the wall.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Can't wait to see the finished product! Looking awesome so far man. Do you have a finish nailer? I find it easier to tack the pieces together with a nail gun, then go through and pre-drill / screw it all.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
well I made a little more interior progress this weekend, a friend of mine Seth Curry made a top plate for my center console and I worked on getting the drivers side kick panelsmocked up and ready for fleece and fiberglass. I also worked on making more trim panels to go beside the seats and around the boxes.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
I'm not sure Custom really describes this truck anymore, this thing will be unbelievable! Can't wait for more updates and very much looking forward to seeing the finished product, if such a thing exist
