There were both a few failures and successes today while working on the car.

The bad news is that the linear actuators to help with raising/lowering the hood didn't work out.

The good news is that I'll be reusing two of them to open/close the clay pigeon shooter doors

Ok first

Amazing progress....

Second

Great pic of you with the dust mask.. somthing crazy in the eyes..

and also an idea

Use the other actuators to open up the trunk. and  slide some kinda bat amory out the back .

you work out the lack of actual space in the trunk for such a thing

later

I'm not sure about actuators in the trunk... I have an emergency release on the trunk from the exterior if the car absolutely dies and I'm trying to get back into it. Those actuators would hold it shut.

I have however thought of possibly trying to make the trip bars for clowns on stilts work But I don't think there is enough room.

Giddy-up!! I'll be heading to Hollywood in August to go on the Warner Brothers VIP tour for their 75 years of Batman exhibit. Oh, and ssshhhh.... I haven't told my 8yr old daughter yet that she will be coming with me, it's a surprise

I've also been talking with the infamous Matt Munson and hopefully we'll get a chance to connect and check out his build of the MattMobile while we're there too!

I think I'm going to do some beefing up of the canopy arms to better support the new weight of the embedded steel frame.

The picture below shows the slider arm in the actual Batmobile which shows just how sturdy it is.

I spent a successful day today working on the driver's side bat-disc shooter door.

Bad guys better watch out or I'll knock that smug smile off their face with a bat-disc upside the head

I was hoping to work on the linear actuators for the bat-disc doors today but it doesn't look like the 18" throw actuators I have are going to work.

Instead I was able to accomplish some fiberglass fabrication today

Thanks Nitro! Hopefully I'll get these bad boys automated with some actuators. I haven't seen them made functional on any other build
