Hi there
My name is David. I have been a huge Batman fan since childhood. Pulled the trigger to build my own 3 weeks ago. It'll probably be a while when I start actually building it but I am scavenging for parts. I think I have most of them right now. Ill try to get it as accurate as possible without going overboard. I'm going to list and add photos of everything I have so far and I'll add questions here without littering the forum.
The body has been ordered from Doug. Eta is January.
This is the donor:
A pimped out 1996 Impala SS from a copart auction. It has damage to the side that is evident but I bought this sight-unseen and it's en route to Poland. Yes this will be a Euro build lol
The car has a horrible paint job and the wheels should be banned haha I will happily put it down:

These are some of the parts I have already.
First the Wheels:
Front wheels Centerline Auto Drags 15" X 10" BP 5x5" BS 4 7/8" not ideal but close enough
Rear wheels Cragar AutoLites 15" X 14" BP 5x5" BS 6 3/4" not the original but hard to find

| Great buy on the car. And those tail lights must have cost a pretty penny. Anything with the F word (Ferrari) attached to it also has a nasty price attached as well. Plus those Ferraris are real classics so tough to get parts.

Thanks Slysnake
Can I bug you with questions?
What do you know about the steering system? How many splines is the shaft? Which steering boss is used to mount the steering wheel?
Any leads on a throttle quadrant?
Best way to get the canopy done?
Those for now

| Sorry man, I know very little about the Keaton cars. My build is the DOJ Batmobile. Most people here are into the Keaton cars or the Tumbler, so I'm sure someone has your answers.
