Shot of the interior. The dash is from the Lamborghini, modified to fit the interior tub from the Aerovette car.  The seats are from the Stingray III, although modified a bit.

The Aerovette on the Batmobile frame.  I had to widen the frame to get the Aerovette tub to fit.  I also widened the frame Between the front wheels.

I thought this was interesting; check out the attached photo of the seats from some of the kits I’m using.  From left to right, the 1st seat is from the Stingray kit, the 2nd is from the AMT Batmobile kit, and the 3rd is from the Aerovette kit.  All these kits are 1/25 scale. The last one is from the Lambo kit.  The Lambo kit is 1/14 scale.  What’s interesting is how varied in size the three 1/25 kits are.   BTW, I’m using the Stingray seat in my bash. It fits best.

Some serious surgery and bashing going on here.  Looks good with the roof on.  Yeah... scale is relative ;)

Thanks,

John

You have quite the creation happening there.

I like what you have so far.

it's a shame that "photobucket" thinks their logo improves your pictures. 

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Hey guys, thanks for the comments.

Some shots of the front fenders.  They are the Batmobile fenders but I cut the tops off and replaced them with the Stingray fenders tops.  I wanted those headlights.

Coming along very nicely! You're doing a great job.

Luckily, when I click on your pics it goes to your account pics and I can see a nice clear pic. I dropped photobucket years ago.

Hey, hey, carpeting!  What ya think?  Does the blue clash with the gray?  I could have gone with black, but it didn’t have that “shag” look the blue has.  The clicks like the shag.
