| Oh, that will be valuable. I will need to get something like that soon to put the body on a trailer and take it to THEMAN. Full fiberglass body is going to be quite heavy.

I got mine in the AC model.
There is also a battery pack operated model for twice the price but for a tool that would be little used I can't see the 400.oo cost. Plus battery packs have limited lives and the ones for this tool can not be used with any other tools.
Would have been great if the battery model had been set up to take 20V Dewalt battery packs.

How far away is soon? Shooting for the end of August, but that might be a little tight. More likely September.

Placed a copy of this post here for anyone planning to and/or actually building a Bat Vehicle.

"The biggest problem is the decorative lines. Some of them didn't come out well. I need a way to make them all equal. I tried making a sanding jig out of a block of wood but it didn't work to well. Might work better if I make it out of aluminum.
Any ideas?"
How about gluing, riveting, and/or screwing square plastic, rubber, or aluminum (square tubing or solid stock) to the inside of the mold.
This should allow you to mold in the decorative lines. My preference would be plastic or rubber.
You can buy square rubber or plastic molding for window glazing with an adhesive peel and stick backing.
If you need to curve the plastic/rubber moldings you can use an electric heat gun.
For aluminum, a propane/Mapp gas torch. vertigo

On cutting round tubing into equal and straight halves.
If I had few lines to do I would probably use a straight edge, French curve, and/or templates held in place with two sided tape.
Then I would use the Dremel routing attachment on my Dremel tool to do the cutting.
On projects in the past that I needed to cut small diameter round tubing in half for I used a scroll saw with a clamped on piece of thin plywood with a straight edge rip fence and a nail the diameter of the saw kerf. The nail keeps the tubing from rotating and the rip fence keeps it cutting straight. vertigo

This car has many attributes that would make for an excellent Bat Vehicle.
The 1,750-HP SSC Tuatara Could Be the World's Fastest Production Car After Secret Record Attempt in Nevada
It is believed that this vehicle set a speed record in excess of 300 mph at a secret track today.
