Very nice!

looks expensive... I tried making a set like that, looked NOTHING like that!

What do you feel a fair price would be for the set pictured in the photo.

Member 67cheby makes and sells these already. Might want to look at what he did and what his price is. Also if you sell these here you will need to become a subscribing member. Good luck!

Was there ever a price on these tubs ??

Yes, and no! I believe these are a whole different animal from what Mike(67cheby) built. Am I wrong? I think they are both gorgeous, but on different levels

I honestly would be a horrible person to ask this! Im the type that would spend all the time in the world and money trying to build something similar just to save a buck... I would probably say a price that is insulting to the artist who made them!

Trucolur · 01-04-2014, 12:55 PM

Well I haven't got to see 67 cheby's yet !?!? Or how to get where I can see them !! But these are nice lookin yo me !!

My point is that Mike is a vendor here...7deuce is not. Selling parts requires that you become a subscribing member, and if you are going to make products for sale you need to become a vendor.

Trucolur · 01-04-2014, 01:16 PM

Oh ok !!

jtp67-72 · 01-05-2014, 12:55 AM

My set of mikes...these are glass............

**mac808** · 01-05-2014, 01:13 AM

Do Mike's Slosh Tubz work with factory AC trucks? I'm guessing not...

Completely agree with you on that! You must support the forum that supports your product.

I have a wheel tub question for you guys. Not on my Truck, but on the 90 Corvette that I am in the process of doing the tubs on. I have a set of the old steel tubs that I was planing on putting in but would prefer a set of fiberglass ones. I have seen some carbon fiber tubs, but for that cost I could buy a ton of other race parts. Weight is not really a concern at the minute. I would just prefer to work with fiberglass. Do you guys know of anyone that makes a good quality glass tub that would be wide enough to start with, and big enough in diameter? The rear tires are a 33X21.5 tire so they would need to be approx 25" wide, and atleast 36" diameter. I am going to be cutting and putting my tubs in around march my guess (Depending on weather)

i think they look awesome. I suspect they would be a grand or more for the pair. The problem is they are awesome because they are hand bead rolled and one off. I'm not sure I would pay big money for a "custom" part that somebody else has. Maybe if you could stamp them and sell them cheap..
