Just a heads up that our good friends and sponsors Relicarz, have all the new Mattel bat-vehicles in stock. they are a major distributor to many other smaller diecast dlaers, so they get them in before a lot of places do. Give them an email or call, ask for Brian and thell him Scot at Pimp My Batmobile! sent you. Even if it's not yet on their website - give them a shout. They'll take care of...

A week ago I was at Frank & Sons, where I was able to pick up a DVD of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wygrQ1rYeAQ

It's a early 1990s Filipino parody of the 1966 show, with their own take on the Barris car.. (okay, so not a really good one, but it's in the right spirit anyway...)

Just thought y'all might like it. :)

G.A.D.M. 1/24 scale Batmobiles value ...

Hey Bat-friends, I have a question for you. I bought one of the Great American Dream Machines 1/24 scale Batmobiles back in 2006. It's a beautiful and very detailed diecast model. Now that Hot Wheels has saturated the market with 1/18ths of generic quality, does my GADM have any value. I'll be keeping it, I just wondered if collectors were still hunting for them.

looking for a little advise

feeds@yuku.com (catfish) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:14:15 GMT

I have striped an elite batmobile and removed the Barris badges and filled in the fuel door, I have the body all smoothed out and ready to primer. My question is, before I primer and get ready to repaint, is there gonna be any bodywork needed to install the forth coming lighted bat ray lenses? If so i will have to wait to repaint ,cause i only want to have to do it once. So if someone can shed a little light on my problem and/or anything else "bodywork wise" I may have...

finally did it!

feeds@yuku.com (catfish) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:28:23 GMT

After dragging my feet for so long, I finally stripped the paint off of my elite! I also ground off the 2 Barris badges that were cast into the body and filled any rough spots with body filler including the fuel door, so now its ready to primer. Now that the weather is starting to cool down, I am wondering when any more parts might be available? I have purchased just about everything that is available at the present time and I know Futurabat is doing the canopys, door panels and dash, Mit...

Batmobile's doors.

feeds@yuku.com (Futurabat6543) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:39:15 GMT

Okay, I would like to know how many of you are bugged by the Batmobile's doors? It's that supposed 'weather strip' that gets me, you know...at the top inner edge. Since I have redone the door panels I have been looking more and more at this and can't help thinking the car would look much better without it.

Tonight, during my breaks while waiting for either silicone to set or glue to dry, i'm going to remove and spot paint the area to see.

feeds@yuku.com (Harry Lime) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:23:43 GMT
Hi All
Just found this board. Fantastic work.. I'm hoping to start my own hot wheels 1/18. Which model do you think is a good start off point. I'm thinking the elite model, not too expensive. Any help appreciated and sorry if this has been covered.

can we get an update?

feeds@yuku.com (catfish) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 16:42:18 GMT
I was wondering if it would be possible, since its been a while, if all the guys involved with making upgrade parts, could chime in and give an update on what there making and how things are progressing. Thanks!

how are the upgrade parts coming??????

feeds@yuku.com (catfish) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:41:49 GMT
its been a while since ive been around, so how are the upgrade parts coming? i am waiting to purchase when everything is available at one time. the parts that are on the site now are awesome, and cant wait to install them in my car! Ive heard, new wheels, beacon/rollbar, canopys, door panels, light kits, seats and other things are the works but i havent read any talk as to when these might be available. please post an update when you get a chance. thanks!

feeds@yuku.com (FANofBATS) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:14:36 GMT
Well, I did something this week I never planned on doing......I pimped out one of my 1/18 HW standard Batmobiles (I like the dash better than on the E or SE versions). I had the dash that I had used to made my Insane Detailing parts with, and was going to put it up on Ebay, but decided I would just have Batmobile left behind without a dash.....so I made this one-off, Frankenstein of parts, "insanely detailed" Batmobile...

It's been kind of quiet recently, anything to share?

feeds@yuku.com (FANofBATS) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:04:33 GMT
Things seems to have quieted down here recently, and I thought I'd try to give things a little nudge.

First, thanks to everyone who was either supported my stuff, or shared photos or comments. I hope that some of you who have gotten any Insane Detailing parts will share photos (whether in progress or in completion). As I've said earlier, I'm still waiting for some things for other people to become available before finishing off my Elite (actually, starting it....it's...

Hello,

I'm,....... well,...... just look at the avatar. I was curious to ask you gurus here
what type of paint did Hot Wheels use on their BM models?
Did they use a clear-coat as well?

Thank you,

Over and out,

Care and feeding of my 1966 BatMobile

feeds@yuku.com (batsarge619) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:35:35 GMT

Greetings, Citizens!

I'm looking for input on what is the best wax and/or polish to make my '66 Elite shine. I've heard this and that about carnuba-based waxes, synthetic waxes, products like "The Treatment" et al. Has anyone put these to the test, and if so, what works best? What will give the best results without risk to the finish (or stripes, especially)? In the past, I've tried various commercial car waxes (Turtle, Maguair's, etc.) on my...
