hey sly,
It is a refueling assembly. I read somewhere it is an aircraft refueling port of the type that uses a refueling hose with a plug in adapted end.
Attached is a blue print that gives some details.

Since I finished milling the body I've been doing a little work sanding and using body filler on the drivers side underneath part. Even got about 2 hours of work in today and it's starting to look pretty good. Unfortunately we've already had a couple of days of snow this fall and it got too cold to continue working today. So I think that part of the build is going to have to wait until spring now.

Did a little searching for the fuel assembly.
Best results searches: thousands of images in these categories
Most likely from one of these two groups. Maybe a combination of assembled pieces.
Aircraft fuel covers
Racecar fuel covers

sly,
"I just have this:

No one seems to have actual pictures of it."
Here is a very early photo-image taken from a higher vantage point while the DOJ batmobile was still a secret. vertigo

I've pretty much shut down work on the car for the winter. Jan to April I will be doing my yearly banishment to a desert Island. But on the plus side, I will have all spring, summer and fall to work on the car this coming year.
Here are some final pics. The milling of the main body is complete and I started to fill and smooth the body.
This is the underside of one of the jet air intakes.
And the same thing a bit further back

Batmobile budget is temporarily depleted right now anyway because I added a new car to my collection, a 2002 Ferrari 360 F1 Spider. Come to think of it, this may be a better donor for the DOJ Batmobile because it's rear engine. Ummm…. maybe not.

sly,
"I added a new car to my collection, a 2002 Ferrari 360 F1 Spider."
Very nice sly.
The Pattinson batmobile is rumored that it is being built on a high performance sports car.
So, if rumor proves true it might be another batmobile for your collection.
Enjoy your 4-month retreat.
You will be missed.

Hey Sly-
1. When people compliment your Ferrari +/- Viper, how often are you going to reply with "You should see my other one?"
2. What kind of end mill cutter are you using on your foam? (sorry for not reading back through your posts... I can't search the forum)
Thanks-
-Waz

What kind of end mill cutter are you using on your foam? I'm using a quarter inch, up spiral, long reach bit. Used the same bit for this body and the bigger one before it. Very little resistance from foam so the bit is still sharp as a razor. I tried a foam specific bit too but it wasn't as satisfactory as carbon steel bit imo. wobbled more.
