James W Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I knew when I built this one it would be as if it were a common vehicle, but it took a while to figure out that it was going to be a saturday night warrior. Thanks for lookin'
RodneyBad Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Looks like a cool Race car for it's days. Nice trailer and Yard for it too. Batman on the weekends?
James W Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Great idea! I haven't seen too many convertibles done as dirt track racers, so this is a unique build - you can't beat that styling either. Nice color choice on the wheels. Would you be willing to post some engine pics? Sorry, there is no engine. The kit is a curbside, I put an air cleaner in the hood and pipes out the trunk. That's all you get. I have not glued the windshield in place yet. I might leave it off and put a deflector on the hood in front of the driver, but I kind of like it this way.
roadhawg Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Lol! I saw "Lincoln Dirt-Tracker" and for some reason I thought it might be Gary Balough's Syracuse modified, but this is very different and nicely done. Shouldn't that sponsor be Bruce WAYNE Plumbing and Heating?
Chuck Most Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I was expecting a '65 Connie. Wow. If that isn't different, I don't know what is.
DR Dubois Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) LMAO! This is sweet!! Would it still use the oil slick spray option, for those guys trying to draft off it?... Edited July 30, 2009 by DR Dubois
James W Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 I'm glad to see you guys have gotten the tongue-in-cheek nature of this build. I was thinking more along the lines of a production Futura than Batmobile gone-to-the-races that seems to keep surfacing, but it is what it is. I'll just say that this is one tough kit to build. I'd love to build another and do it up like a factory prodution sedan, maybe change the roofline to something more conventional. But man would that take alot of work to get this thing looking good enough for that. The gaps and misalignments of panels and trim. It is a beautiful car. The kit is just a little primative.
ricky12 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 that turned out great thanks for showing it . i would of never thought of it as a racer .
BigGary Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Holy mudpuddle, Batman, Somebody stole the Batmobile and went dirt trackin'! Gary
