Seeing those batmobile images from movie world made me realize something.
How does the canopy in forever mobile open and close? Is it same like the Keaton mobile?
Kevin?
Dave?
Jack?

The Kilmer car that I saw at the Tallahassee car museum used square block linear bearings on the side and a roller bearing set for the center. Here are a couple of pictures. As far as I know DAVE is the only person who has spent any time with the actual cars. I will tell you that this set up worked much smoother and looked nicer.

| The center roller looks very much like what is in the 1:18.

The pictures that are shown are not the same is the 89 Batmobile canopy rail system.

Jack didn't say they were the same. He explained how they worked, with pictures, and said the Forever car's set up worked much smoother than the Keaton car. But thanks for playing...

There were some resonable pics that I uploaded on Sunday night. They didn't make the post - I uploaded 23 and 8 have been linked to the post.
