Check it out. Martin is the guy who bought Don's '66 molds, the Currie car from e-bay a few weeks ago (the seller told him it was actually in top shape, regardless of what someone was saying), a Doug Hines' '66 kit, AND an '89 body (from one of our popular friends).
He has a team in Texas that will be building the Currie car, and a fiberglass and automotive team in the UK who will be working with the '89. Good stuff, eh? The pics represented currently of the '66 are simply previous Currie cars, made into turnkeys by various builders, and are only used to show that the kits he will be selling are CURRIE kits, not Butts' kits.
I look forward to seeing what Martin has to offer in the coming months!

| No, he has not built one yet. That was the first thing he told me in fact. No fraud here, Mr. Citizen's Alert Team. He is very clear on the fact that he is just now getting into this business, just as Don did, just as Mark did, just as Doug did, etc. etc. And as far as price goes, do you know anybody else in the UK who is offering Batmobile kits? I didn't think so. Its called supply and demand, and if he is the only one supplying, he can demand any price he wants. Thanks for playing our little game, now crawl back into your hole.
