Hey Matt,Sorry I've been away so long! Batrodz recently told me to check this comment of yours.
Been busy this summer. Was doing a lot of work in LA and only recently returned.
Haven't added much to the Black Beauty. Once the official photos were released of the Seth Rogan car, we did a little "re-tooling" to include some of the updated concepts, new wheel design and of course... the REQUIRED mini-guns on the hood. (Mine are removeable, leaving behind only some curious looking brackets on the fenders that betray the 20mm guns stored in the TRUNK! lol)
We've opted NOT to re-skin the roof but to instead sand it down and paint it body color. Means a lot more air-boarding that even the factory stretch shop had in mind. But will give a cleaner look to the whole project.
I do have to THANK production for the change in wheel design! I had a set of new stock mustang wheels and tires sitting in the shop and they bolt right up to the town car. Didn't have to buy the custom ones off eBay after all.
But this summer hasn't been ALL sand and surf. We've made some great progress on the original Fast and the Furious "10 Minute" Supra. No more is the trash heap from the flatbed scene in the middle of the film. As soon as we get some orange paint and stickers on it, it will rank amongst it's more famous orange "brothers". lol
And I DID finally get some new toys down to Star Cars...
Their "Silent Night" missile to hang above the GTO,
and Michael Jackson's 500 SEL Benz for the lobby. (Always remember to wear your mask when working with custom cars!
But I did LEAVE Star Cars with some company for the trip home...
Maxx, the original "Bionic Dog" from the 70's Six Million Dollar Man. (I left my windows cracked so as not to be jailed for animal cruelty on the ride back)
And of course, I've managed to find SOME time (ha)
for a Tunergirl
Or two...
I mean... Would you all EXPECT me to visit and only leave you with a picture of me and Maxx? What kind of a Batgod post would this BE without women? lol
No worries! The Black Beauty is in the bay and on the schedule behind the Supra and a Green F&F Spilner Eclipse. She'll be on the streets before spring!
All the best and Happy Holidays!!!
