JollySipper Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hey, Guys...... Have any of you taken a '66 Batmobile and made some sort of custom from it? I have this idea that the front end would make for a cool rear end treatment on something like the '62 Buick, or along those lines.......Just wondering if any of you guys have had a similar idea, and how it might look..........Thanks!

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 You know it started out as the Lincoln Futura car-of-tomorrow concept by Ford, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollySipper Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Something along these lines is what I'm interested in, tho this was built from a Futura...... Also, if anyone has used just parts of the Batmobile in a build, I would love to see it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Ah yes...I remember that one. A real knockout. Not the Batmobile you're referring to, but I have this under construction from a later one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Haigwood Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I have recently inherited a couple partial Futura kits. Not sure if I have enough parts to build one but have been thinking about what I might put the bubble roof and/or fins on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you build from them sounds like it should be cool!I've been thinking how the little light pods on the "roof" of the Batmobile might look as tail lights on a '37 Ford........
