thats a good question.....unfortunately i dont know the answer, i think the answer is yes but it depends on where you are measuring in the upper areas where you need more room to turn when you are running LOW....they are much wider but, at the bottom or they are prob about the same width

**67cheby** · 05-13-2011, 02:14 PM

Very nice work CHEBY !! Those should make a good source of income who knows maybe you'll get rich off of them. I would be willing to accept a sponsorship and be your Oklahoma representative

**67cheby** · 05-14-2011, 11:12 AM

LOL...i will keep that in mind....

**LEEVON** · 05-16-2011, 02:12 PM

WAY, WAY off topic...but speaking of taxes, I have been assured by my accountant that this hobby of ours could be turned into a "business" for tax purposes. It would require the sale of at least one vehicle per year, and profit/loss statements along with the paper to back it up.

With your day job and the wheel tub venture in the mix and you might have a reason to try it.

**67cheby** · 05-16-2011, 03:35 PM

good information thanks...hopefully SLOSH TUBZ will take care of any tax write off for the truck !! speaking of i just acquired the domain name (www.sloshtubz.com) in the process of building a website !! kinda excited !! please like Slosh Tubz on facebook (MikeLosh)

It's been 20 years since I did this but you could treat drag racing as a business & write off expenses. Down side is you can only lose money for four years straight before you show a profit. Five years in a row of loss and they treat it as a hobby instead of a business so it is no longer tax deductible.

You may be able to write off some business start up costs of getting these tubs ready for sale and for building your truck as a rolling advertisement for the product. I would talk to your accountant to see what you can do.

Next step after the accountant is a business lawyer. You want to insulate your personal property from the business completely so if for some reason the business goes under then the debt collectors can't go after your personal assets. It's been ten years since I ran my own business so I can't give you any advice on what the current best way to incorporate your business is right now.

Good luck, you have a great product and I'm sure it will sell well.

mcbassin · 05-16-2011, 04:27 PM

Nice work on the glass fenders! I would be all smiles too. I know how much time is involved with something like that.

**67cheby** · 05-16-2011, 04:52 PM
