Clean work, it's awesome to see these projects being done by people other than professional builders.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
couldnt you use bedliner , only downside to that is you never get it off again for sheetmetal repair

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Lizard skin is a great product we are using it on the inside of the tub but I don't like the looks of it underneath , we went with a true hot spray in liner underneath Cloud 9
