My pleasure, Dee!

And Dave - I must have missed your post until now. At least I have a frame, now!! I am not sure the answer to your question, however...

The body that we have been working on for over a year is now ready to tool up. We have fixed most all of the problem areas of the Butts body. here is a list of what we have fixed:

center hood brought up to match canopy arc

detail added to the end of the center ridge of hood

canopy fit and roof line matches top scoop

dip fixed in top scoop

dip fixed in top of roof

foot pads at same degree of tilt

gas cap recess at same degree of tilt (Butts is way off on that one)

left fin angle  now same as right wing

tail light area now same from side to side.

ROUND tail light pads

every inch of this body has been worked to make it as nice as we have.

we started with a very bad kit and now after lots of $$$ and hard work I feel we will have one of the best kits that will be available very soon!!

Price: 12,500.00 + shipping

Hmm, $12500 plus shipping. What's the basic kits include? or What do you get for $12,500?

Hand laid or blown fiberglass? or is it a combination of both? Flange or no flange around the hood area and trunk or both?

We would like to know.

Did none of you get the memo from Don Currie ? He says it's illegal to sell batmobile kits
He says
I wouldnt buy a 89 kit from anyone as no one has the legal right to sell
any, only Warner Brothers does.You will get sued.


In any case we should be glad someone had taken time to fix the stinking dips ever present in Currie's kit.

The kit comes with:

one piece body

canopy

trunk

gun doors

side weapon doors

front snout

side mechanics

front bumpers

We are working on more parts, we will offer different stages of kits like our 66 kits

Like everything we make it's all hand laid fiberglass

We have built in a flange for the canopy and the trunk lid

Doug, looks great. 

What is a firm date when kits will be available.  November?  December?  January?  February? 

Have you had any luck on the Trunk lid?

Thanks Jack for your kind words as always. And for all of your help making this body as nice as it is!! We are tooling now, I would guess a hard date of October to have kits on the ground. We had lots of success with the trunk lid. How do I post a photo so it is up on this and people don't have to click to see?? HELP!!!!!
