Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

Thanks for the nice words mike, it was cool to run across you and chip at the show. I gave your card to my buddy I sure he will be calling soon. As for the Hood struts not my idea I saw it somewhere and modified it to work on my truck, but it works very well for bagged squares. Hey mike if you have an extra t shirt send it my way and I'll push the tubzs here in Oklahoma for you! Lol

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

What about hood hinge interference with the 73-80 fenders?
Or can they be trimmed enough to clear?

i think the 73-80s are going to recquire something more like the ones PB makes for the 67-72's not sure on those ? any ideas ? The last time i talked to Porter about it he said he was planning on making something for them but i dont know if he has yet ?

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

I have never seen the struts on a pre 81 truck, I am sure there is a way to do it just have not tried to do it myself. Sorry!

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

i think what he is talking about is that the 73-80's dont have the cowl mounted part of the hinge that the 81-87s have , the 73-80's are more like the 67-72's the complete hinge bolts on the inside of the fender

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

Alot of that tucks up under the fender from this view it doesnt look quite as wide, especially if you are running a narrowed front track, i think once painted and with everything in the engine compartment they wont look so HUGE ! LOL

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

I think the size of them looks kinda cool under the hood, keeps it more of a factory look for sure! These will definitely keep a lot of road grime and such out of the engine bay!

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

any chance on getting a set that dont have all the indentations on the face? or that cover 100% of the opening? If so Ill take a set, otherwise I gotta build my own.

No but the indentations are down low on the bottom of the firewall ! I am considering doing a full coverage version at a layer point !

Re: SLOSH TUBZ SQUARED... sneak peek

What do these clear on the firewall side of things? To be specific, what must be removed?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

They clear everything on the drivers side as for the passenger side you might be able to modify the Ac box and keep it but more than likely it needs to be removed, or you could modify the Tubz to go around the Ac box, I will post some pics when I get to work
