Tortuga Kustomz

Awesome work and details man, looking forward for more, love the work on the chassis

Thank you Glen, i really appreciated Well guys, first time i have this up and down feeling on a build... First i put a lot of work on the rear end and the wheelie bars, the wheelie bars i wanted to be a 92" in scale for this project Soon as i mounted everything on the chassis, i find out the the wheelie bars hit the chassis and didn't let the tire touch the ground, and the 4 link arms were to long and make the wheel and tire out of center At the end, the wheels and tires were center, but the 92" wheelie bars was gone, end up with a 78" wheelie bars in scale this is my basic idea with all the work So i have to take everything a part, i damage the paint on the 4 ling brackets This is my final result

Thanks Ron, i love this project, and the bad thing about this project is (Is addictive), am preparing my self for 3 more after this one, don.t know whish one goes first LOL

Thank you Francis, i'm glad you like the beast, is turning great in my opinion

WAW Mike, that engine looks better then i thought my friend, amazing work

awesome project, looking forward for updates, i've been after of one of those PE lenco trans with no luck at all

Beautiful details man

looking good so far man, looking forward for more updates

Thanks Mike, well, the blower paint is German Grey from Tamiya, the blower hat is silver with a dull coat clear and Tamiya panel line wash, turns out nice. I love the detail on the injectors man, really cool what sizes is that aluminum and brass tubing?

Thank you John Thank you Francis, yeah this beast is the most powerful build in my collection, and the name fits well thanks for you support man

Thank you Dennis Thanks Mike, i love this project a lot, and am taking baby steps to make it right, every little step have to be well done, hope to do a great job on it

Ok guys, this is not a progress update, but is something that i fix after a fiend mentioned to me, my front wheels set wasn't the way i wanted, first picture is what basically i want to replicate, then i put my already build front wheels on the frizzier for 1hr and take them a part, and make them look like they suppose to Front wheels centers suppose to be a spindle mount style, before i had it with a 5 bolt pattern

I did some work with the beast, not much but good for me, Added some decals to the chassis and is clear, added some detail parts on the interior, clutch, brake and gas pedals, added a 1/16 aluminum tub for the stirring column and a clock gear for the stirring wheel parts, came out nice on my point of view, then i did some work on the blower, after detail painting the fuel valve and the fuel distributor block, added the details to the blower hat and they came out great, am really happy with the results, hope you guys like it...

Very cool, i build my Don Garlits Wynn's Jammer with the 392 Dodge Hemi that came in the kit, super cool, only thing i did change was the blower hat for a more detail one, looking forward to see how your turns out...
