zenrat Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 So Bruce has retired the Barris Batmobile preferring to use the Batpod as Gotham City roads dept are just not keeping up with the repairs and hitting all those potholes with the soft Lincoln springing is not doing his back any favours. What to do with it? Well he ships it off to his cousin Wayne Bruce in Melbourne who modifies it for local conditions. Turbines are for helicopters and ships - what a man needs is a V8 so nasty they banned it. And Bat computer? nah. Computers are for playing games and looking at naked chicks. All you need in the boot is the battery. And of course we'll need to put the steering on the correct side, remove the Batphone to save weight and where would we be without an ashtray and a skull shift knob.
Jantrix Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I dig it Zen. It's definitely got your touch. The Dark Knight Returns print is a nice touch too.
phil-east Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 fantastic work it's a really nice clean build and the paint looks great.

W-Machine Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Who doesn't love the Barris Batmobile? Yours looks fantastic!
Dominik Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Cool model and great back story. ...and i had a smile on my face, while i am reading your comments. Like it!
zenrat Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Craig - It is THE definitive Batmobile. The one 96% of people think of when they hear the name*. Accept no substitute. Dom - Thanks. If you can't have a laugh doing it then I don't want to do it. * remembering that 87% of statistics are made up on the spot.
DrKerry Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Looks good. Great build. Just watch out for the OTHER drivers!!!!!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Oh yeah, a SOHC powered batmobile!! Can you handle the V8 Batman??? Great!!!
unclescott58 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Fred, I like the build, and I love the back story on why the modifications would have been done. Plus I love that you show Batman beating on Superman in the background. A fun build and a fun story to go with it. Scott
