Looks Like a good base . Will you be painting your car the same color as the subaru. So many shots in the movie look more gray than black .
cangrats on the buy and build.


Yup, I'll be using the same paint scheme as my Subaru both the body and the Rims

The car sounds like a gem.. I just need to check it out... That year has the 4.3L V8 with 200hp which will do me fine for this car.

Well the trip back home over the holidays was a successful one. I think the donor car I was looking at is going to work out just fine.

http://batberry.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/donor-car-found/

Now I just need a warm garage for about 4 days so that I can tear it down.. once I find the space, I'll haul this bad boy down here and get to work

Giddy-up!!

I just scored my Batmobile tail lights on ebay

Funny thing is that they actually cost me more than my donor car and I still got a good deal on them LOL!!

2 x Ferrari 308 Red tail lights
2 x Ferrari Dino Red tail lights

I'll make a more detailed Blog post about my lighting when they arrive. I'm also working on some headlights.. they are actually 89 Mazda 626 headlights

Doug was mentioning that these worked great for the turnkeys that they created.
