Well, I do hate that we have a displeased Bat Pod build on the board, BUT I am happy to see that your build is going great Kevin.

The Rebuild Commences
Since our hosing from Parker brothers, we have started to rebuild the batpod and make
it a real machine like we were told we were getting.
here are some photos of the redesign and fabrication.
Most of the fiberglass parts will be remolded and the scale, size and looks were not matching
to the movie:

Rear hub totally re-made. Now it does not look like it was welded by a 6 year
old with two car batteries.
Correct details on the struts:
All new cowlings - shapes are more like the movie.
