Thanks, guys, for the comments and stories! Love the flat front vans of the 60s!
Neat van Niko-Thanks for the picture!
Johhny - I haven't seen many around these parts...just one Ford a few years ago, but haven't seen it in a while-it was tu-tone and had a raised rear end and Cragars...very much a 60s mild custom!
Joe, the chutes are tissues...I actually cut two into a circle and did a quick bat with a sharpie marker on them...folded them up, added the thread and got the white glue and water out. Came out pretty good to me! Maybe the newer Batmobiles don't need chutes, what with the advances in brake technology and materials...or reverse thrusters...
This was a long time coming, but glad to have it done! Onto the Snap kit Batmobile before my glue kit arrives!
