This is my latest Batmobile.
What I did here was use a Jimmy Flintstone body, and custom cut a Lincoln Futura kits frame to fit the resin body.
The wind screens are also from the Futura kit, carefully cut in half, metal foiled and lots of wet sanding on the primer coats,
and duplicolor gloss black, hand striped, and 3 clear coats each coat heavier than the last.
This baby shines like a diamond! This car has Cragar mags with Firestone wide ovals.
I put head lights behind the custom screens I made out of window screen material, used the Futuras interior after cutting the dash away and the rear deck lid.
This one came out quite nice and my customer was very pleased when he got it!

This was a afterthought I had one day after looking at my old kit shelf in the closet.
Seeing the large hump hood that sort of looked like a pregnant Batmobile hood, I figured id give it a shot, after chopping the top, radiusing the rear wheel wells, and finding some good tires and mags, off to the spare bat locker for some parts, yep its got a bat phone!, and lots of sanding and bondo, this is what I came up with a Batstudebaker concept car if you will!
Just thought it made a really neat sort of DC. comic style Batmobile!

This was a Flintstone body on a custom Futura frame, I used all the Futura parts I could ie: interior steering wheel,
windscreens.
I use real metal tape on the screens, I used to use foil but the metal tape is so much cleaner looking.
I also use metal tubes in place where the axles sit in the frame to raise the car to the proper height so the tires will fit,
roll and just plain look more authentic. Real aluminum rocket tubes.
The car is painted with auto primer, color coat, striped and then shot with multiple heavy clear coats for a glass like shine.
and you can even wax the car without worrying about paint coming off.
