Corvette Batmobile

[Ceaser_Salad]

Hi again... I post way too much stuff, I am sorry for that.

BUT I think this is a build that will actually be interesting to people, unlike my sci fi stuff which no one looks at.

I had this kit, didn't like it, thought it was ugly and put it up for trade. But I was staring at the headlights and thought, "yknow that could be a cool batmobile".

Soo...

But then I thought... "it's missing something... oh yeah a stupidly oversized jet engine in the back". So I whipped this up.

I want to paint the bat symbol on the hood in maybe a grey on the gloss black or maybe I will just leave the vinyl mask on after painting to raise the symbol off the hood a bit.

Also the kit wheels and tires are so tiny... I need something more buff and off road ready.

Thanks for looking, if you have any wheel/tires that would be good for this, let me know.

This is cool! I did the same thing several years ago using a Ferrari Enzo as the base car. Lotsa fun. I look forward to seeing your progress on this.

Sooo, judging by the direction of the headers, does the engine exhaust go forward into the cabin? 

Holy Carbon Monoxide, Batman!!!

Man, I have no idea

I may do some routing to put the exhaust out... the bottom?? I don't know yet, have to see what has room. I had some side pipes somewhere, but cannot find them. If I find them, its out the side

Since it's supposed to be a jet engine, I assumed the headers were representing fuel lines or air ducting or some other jetty mumbo-jumbo.

It's bat tech, yes. But because I couldn't stop thinking of Batman gassing himself with his own car, I turned the headers around

Here is my paint job. Have a little bit to fix on the bat symbol, but I am really happy with the look of it so far. Again, looking at the wheels from the kit, they look too small even if it wasn't a batmobile.

I like that this car could be driven to stop crime or to the annual Justice League Charity Gala.
