My Tumbler progress

Looks cool :up:


I can't wait for finished product.
 
Hey YB, I was just funnin', bro...that looks great! Just think what a vintage Ford V8 woulda looked like...plus, it would have harkened back to the Barris '55 Futura Batmobile...:cwink:...but, you wouldn't have had any room in the cockpit!:woot:

Good luck with that, Spirit. It's only a concept car from '55.

If you were to try to make a custom '66 Batmobile, the best starting point would probably be a 1960 or so Cadillac Eldorado. The body style is similar enough to the Futura that it really wouldn't take all that much to get the same look.
 
Sweet can't wait,

I saw that you posted and got overly excited.
 
Hedman headers, exhaust pipe routed to the rear, and up.

"Looks like a black....tank"

Question: Is this puppy street legal?
 
How is that real? How much did that cost? And where would it be legal to drive?
 
You'd have to take it to a closed course etc.
 
Youngbat, just wanted to add my two-pence - that is HUGELY impressive work, especially considering it's a one-man job. And I'm sure like anyone else who's ever worked on a car project, you've encountered problems and issues but still stuck at it. I can't wait to see the finished article.

What are your plans for the interior - just a stationery setup like in the film or are you going to try and have the sliding seat a la 'attack mode'?
 
check the bulbs out here, there are ten.

in upper pic, the upper two are so intense they sort of look like one bulb on each side. 4 uppers, 4 lowers, one on each side in the back. = 10

Dear YoungBat]

I'm getting agitated by pictures, when can we get a video tour of this? Just thinking about being able to look outside in my drive way and see this there is a turn-on.

VIDEO!!
 
I appologize for not having a good video up. I tried a while ago, first with a 16mm digital, and when I got it up on youtube, it was just digital garble. So then I used the 30 vid on my digital camera, and it was choppy, and grainy, and doesn't have sound. So gotta get my hands on the right camera, have a friend do it.
