I was able to make some more bat-disc door progress yesterday with a little something special added using some orange LEDs. Thanks for the idea Nitro!

I'm hoping to finish off the passenger door today if all goes well

I had another good day of progress working on the passenger side bat-disc door.

I also started making some progress testing out my idea for fastening on the wheel-cones using those cool new resin wheel-bats that I received in the mail

Yesterday was a crazy productive day on the BatBerry. I was working from 10am - 7:30pm and managed to finish up the wheel-bats and wheel-cones.

I was able to make some more trunk vent fabrication progress today. A nice sunny afternoon calls for some fiberglass resin curing fun!

I almost completed the fiberglass portion of the fabrication, but I called it quits after a nicked my finger with the grinder. I figured it was a good time to stop before I nicked another one!

I spent about another 6 hours yesterday shaping the trunk vents so that they had a nice recessed look to them.

Thankfully I was able to finish all but two of them. Just some final 200 grit smoothing to go. Next step is adding in the mesh

I've posted up Part 1 of our Warner Brothers VIP tour covering the costumes and props.

Absolutely amazing details and incredible works of art. I was blown away by just how much attention to detail and craftsmanship goes into these pieces. Part 2 will cover the Bat-vehicles

I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning, my daughter and I are heading down to visit Matt and the Mattmobile. It will be fun to talk shop in-person with a fellow Batmobile builder!

Part 2 of our VIP tour has now been posted covering the vehicles from the exhibit. Most of the vehicles were on display and you were able to get pretty close to them

I learned some new things about my car as well as snagged some photos of some of the areas where I needed more details.

Yesterday my daughter and I headed over to visit Matt Munson after a day at Disneyland to check out his build of the Mattmobile!

It's rare when you can get together with a fellow Batmobile builder so it was great to be able to talk shop in person.

I was able to make some solid progress on the nose of the car yesterday. Slowly but surely this beast is coming together

The main concentration yesterday was front vents, headlight openings and front "winglets".

Since I recently secured some screen accurate mesh for the car I figured I would move forward with some more fabrication on the grills that are right in front of the canopy.
