The 89 MattMobile Build Thread.

Congrats on the forward momentum. Maybe I'll go park on I-70 to watch it go by .

 

[Alan Castillo]

Thanks man! I appreciate it

Latest news is that it looks like the shell will be picked up THIS week, with delivery to my house sometime next week. I'm kind of overwhelmed! it's finally REALLY happening!!!!! lol.

Granted, it's really only been a year since I first started this project, but getting the shell on hand is kind of confirmation that it's real!! lol. I can't wait!!!

Congrats Matt ! You heart will skip a beat once you see it in place :thumbsup

 

[Judge Spartan]

I think it'll skip a beat when the truck pulls up. Any bets Matt's knees buckle when he sees the shell for real. LMAO!!

I feel like there should be a tongue-in-cheek episode of "On the Laam" about the shell arrival.

 

[Skyler101]

Absolutely. Already in my plan. I'm also going to have a few hidden dead man switches that will totally disconnect the ignition. It won't stop someone with a tow truck, but I'm working on countermeasures for that too

You need a microphone, and the word "Shields!" LOL

There will for sure be an episode of ROTMM when the shell shows up. I really want to capture that moment and preserve it. Should be really fun!

I've said it earlier in this thread, but aparently it needs repeating: nobody will drive the car except me. And after reading chevyhotrods posts, I'm more convinced of that than ever!!! :lol

So when do we all get to drive it? :lol

 

[MattMunson]

Got some pics today of the shell and various bits. They have not shipped yet, but THIS is MY batmobile!!!!

[Judge Spartan]

THAT is beautiful!! Get it home, get it home
Matt, You can see the shell is saying" Bring me home Daddy." right? Or am I wrong? LOL!!

 

[Celtic007]

Very cool Matt!

 

[Monster Dave]

Wow - you must be REALLY excited to see THAT!!

 

[Ruddigger]

That right there, it's called living the dream.

 

[Gearsofhalo]

WELP....THIS BAT JUST MADE GUANO IN HIS PANTS! hahahaha been following this since the start...you are one LUCKY, hard working man!......oh the things i would do for something that just LOOKED like a Batmobile haha

 

[tim]

I think I need a moist towelette.

 

[Caveneau]

Definitely my favourite batmobile, along with the '66 version.

Can't wait to see more pictures of this project!


:thumbsup

 

[Felgacarb]

Right on!

 

[MattMunson]

Thanks for all the support guys! Always really nice to know that people are following along and enjoying the progress. it's been a really long road so far, but seeing those pics gets me super excited over the next phase of the build. Even though my garage will be monopolized by batmobile parts for the next few months, it's a small price to pay for finally seeing this dream get so much closer to reality. Stay tuned... the best is yet to come!

 

[SupernaturalFan]

Might have to invest in a car cover for your regular everday vehicle. That or build a multi-million dollar bat cave! Perhaps not. Very cool news about the progress of the body work. It's all looking very cool. Now the fun part begins!
