The 1989 Batmobile Forum

Wow blast from the past.

Not the Warner bros lot but I did visit Auto Convention where they had all the Batmobiles in 2012 before Dark Knight Rises premier.

I remember thinking how small the Tumbler looked in person. Highlight for me was of course seeing 1989 batmobile the second time. First one being the one in Petersen Museum.

Looking good man...
Glad you are making some progress...

finding the correct parts is hard enough but the CAD work prototyping and 3d printing the one off parts to machine takes the longest it seems here are some of progress photos from Jason of work he did from Septembe till now Fast forward to February now The parts are finally done for Gerrard’s car and mine we can’t wait to get them on our cars

Gotta love attention to detail.

Those AP Racing calipers are not cheap. I'm working on a "cheap" build that can be upgraded to the expensive stuff if I ever get that far.

When you started your frame, did you build on a welding table to keep everything straight? Or on some leveling stands on the floor?

I used box tubing on the ground leveled two pieces long ways and two cross ways then I laid my two main rails on that it was not great but it worked

Glad to see some more progress...
And interesting way of starting the frame mock up process... But then again, if it works, it works...

Beautiful.

Update one thing I noticed that they messed up on on the real car is that the brake rotors are directional for the cooling fins inside the rotors they have the rotors on backwards I put them on that way for these pictures but I will probably switch them to the right way I don’t know

First steering test in the you tube video
