That Batmobile was built on a '73 Impala, not a Corvette. Some people have too much time on their hands. I hope he's gonna do alot more fitting of those pieces. I see it's still under construction, but I see alot of problems with how that car is put together.
If he want's a Batmobile, more power to him. I hope he likes it when it's done. He'll have to give it away to get rid of it. Such is the problem with radical customs.

I'm sure that is cool to someone, just don't know who that would be. There is nothing on the car that cannot be fixed with the proper application of a BFH and a swift kick to the nads of the builder. wonder what he has selected as his "theme music" when he drives it?

Not true. I think it'll look good. IF he spends a few dozen more hours fitting all the panels. None of them seem to be in line with the others. I can see it done. It'll look good, but as I said, he better love it. Because a radical custom like that is hard to get rid of.

Now that the design is no longer so protected, people with the necessary skills have been building their own. Those without the skills or knowledge to build one are more than willing to pay for a decent copy.
(yeah, I'm a Batman nerd, and the '89 is my favorite automotive design of all time :o

It's to short, and not wide enough, but for a garage built car, it's darn close. Once he gets the turbine scoop shaped, it'll look decent.
Now this one here, this one is "off." Way to much of the original car shows through. IIRC, this one was built before the copyright expired:

I've been a Batman fan for many years, but building a Batmobile that handles and performs like a sick cow is not what Batman would do. Hence, the Batrod, version 1 and version 3. While they may not be to everyones taste, the were made to perform.
