Who? Me? Mate if I had the time, the means(room), and the skill I'd LOVE to make a life size replica of this car! While I think I could have the skill to do it, I most certainly don't have the room.

| It sucks that the game dosn't show you how the cockpit opens. id say it opens like the cockpit on the Animated series batmobile toy. and flips forward. there should be just enough room where it wont interfere with the engine.

Well I heard back from Carlos D'Anda lastnight who designed the car. He says, "I imagine it opens like the 89 sliding canopy." I'm not sure how because of the open engine block so I'll have to be creative when I get to that part.

Thats cool when you can get insight from the designer. When i look at my hot wheel it looks like it would clear but when i look at my screenshots in looks like it needs come up a few inches then forward 
If i come up with something i will share it with you  good luck

| hey Arkhambatmobile, I think its just a matter of hieght. With the 89 it pops up a couple inches then slides forward. With your vehicle it may have to pop up 8 inches and then slide forward. If you get a chance check out the entry system on a Sterling kit car. The whole roof with doors pops up and moves forward and does not slide. So even that would work. You could even piano hinge it so it accesses only from the drivers side. Clamshell hinged at the back like the Carmel batmobile. Lots of cool options. Cut the roof down the middle and hinge it up so it can be accessed like the old Can Am race cars....just some suggestions....BWD

I've thought up a few ways of doing it too. But to have it open like the '89 means it wouldn't look "clean" IMO? You'd need actuator arms or something?
