Gettin there... some Bob D. tumbler test shots
- Thread starter doody
- Start date
I have no critique. Simply.... this is art! To my untrained eye it looks absolutely perfect... It's actually even hard for me to comprehend just the amount of skill, work, and amount of planning that went into the construction of this vehicle.
I think the lack of response thus far shows you two things. Speechlessness, and jealousy!
I won't gush anymore... you know the strengths and weaknesses of this thing you have created, I just hope I can make it round to see it someday
So, yeah.... What do the neighbors think? :lol
You figured out a functional "batwing" cape yet too?

One thing funny did happen while I was taking pictures, a elderly neigbor lady came over and was just flipping out. This was the first time anyone in the neighborhood actually did this. Most of the time they just go by sort of uninterested.
don't know how the rest of the area will react. I will probaly only drive it at night. At some point somehow, I do want to get it into a big city for some shots. I don't know how I will do that yet, but it's a must.
Today was a lucky day with the weather, now when I get the suit finished, I will have no problem getting it back out. I'm sure there will be more snow soon, but the foam latex batsuit is so hot, that I should actually be comfortable in 20deg weather.

Bob, as always, your work is simply stunning. i agree with an earlier post: I think people are just too shocked to know what to say. You're posting pictures of an engineering marvel on a forum that had a 20 page thread about converting a 5 dollar captain jack sparrow compass that's your competition. I think that tumbler is just so stunningly beautiful that we don't know what to do with it!!!
the pic of you in the ninja suit is awesome too. It's the whole package!!!! Keep postin' those pics!!!

That is the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed.
I'm stunned.
BTW -- is the "Ninja" sword a "found" item? Is that one screen accurate?

i know its most likely a dumb question, but is it street legal, can a homemade car even BE street legal? i know you built it yourself but how much has it cost to build this? its absolutly amazing the things that some people can make out of nothing...... i cant even put a model car together without it looking like crap
Phenomenal work.
That car should only be driven at night. It's only proper, really.
Is the visibility as awkward as it seems? Talk about a blind spot(s)!

I'm assuming you must be in the midwest as this weekend we had unseasonably warm weather. Would love to see that in person if you are in the region! Awesome work! Understanding the logistics that go into a customized vehicle make it look all the sweeter!:love

What did you use for a chassis and engine/drive train?
