Tortuga Kustomz Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I want to thanks all the support you guys have passed to me on this project, here's not a big update, but for the little time that i had on this project i considered huge... Finally added the rear springs, out of Michael's jewelry springs i think that's the name, it's a little bit more high from what i was expecting to but is fine for now Decided to work on the front suspensions, take a part the kit ones and added some futurattraction front suspensions springs, after the paint is apply they will look a lot better All those small parts are in primer now waiting to be dry Added some carbon fiber decals to some of the parts and they starting to take shape LOL, now i only need is add some details to them and some detail painting Far as the engine detail, i run out of oil filters, so i decided to cut a little piece of styrene rod and add a decal to it, work super for something that you will barely see on the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Williams Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Marcos, compliments on the coils, a wonderful source for these parts. My former attempts with these were minimal at best. I like the path you've chosen, going further into modeling is a good thing. The finished model will show that a touch of real metal here and there make for a completely new look. You'll be pleased!

ProModNut Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The Beast is looking fantastic! The stance seems perfect & that engine is a masterpiece. I think that you need to use funny car style headers tho, I've seen nitrous Pro-Mods running those style headers & even funny car style, but I've never seen a blown P/M running that style header, just a idea/recommendation. Love this build, excellent detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Richard, i wasn't sure what to do with the exhaust pipes, from the beginning i wanted to do funny car style and later i saw this ones on the parts box and i did try them on, they don't look bad but the other style looks a lot better, thanks for the advice man 14 hours ago, Ian McLaren said: Absolutely stunning workmanship it looks fantastic.
