1966 Batmobile question

[slave1pilot]

Does anyone know what was used to make the flame on the exhaust of threes original Batmobile?

 

[CustomPropSculptorGuy]

I think it was kerosene

 

[slave1pilot]

Not just the fuel used,i am also wanting to know if it was a burner that was a found item

 

[Weequay]

I believe it was a hot air baloon burner. Are you building one?

The outer turbine tube was a metal five gallon paint can decorated with mesh and aluminum "C" channel.

The inner chimey stack was added after the first season I believe.
A few times the flame was an optical efffect.

They only had 3 weeks to modify the Lincoln Futura.

This is a photo of the original #1 Batmobile. The labels are added by Barris.

No spell check with vinyl letters!!

Mr. Barris has gone over the top in the labeling department.:sick

If i remember right it was a propane tank. I know that's the set up that Batmobile replica builders use. Like a 50s flamethrower, you need a source of spark, also.

I heard it was a rag soaked in kerosene with a blower behind it in the trunk.
