Looks OK, I like the effort involved, just not my cup of tea. Which Batmobile was based on the Corvette? Anybody know.

None of them...The hype was that the Burton film batmobile was.
This was a load of

they also said it had a special motor that made loads of H P also BS.
They built the car out of a pair of old lmpallas that they found in a junkyard.It was chopped up so much that you cant ever tell.
I think they used mostly the frames.
The motor they had was so weak the car could barely more....I think the top speed was under 10 mph.
That was fine because if it went any faster it would fall apart.
All the speed shots are from models.
