Yul Lose Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 A friend of mine, Jim Schaefer builds hot rods and as you can see from the pictures Batmobiles. I drove by the station today and they were fueling it up and let me take some pictures. This is the 4th Batmobile that Jim has built. I’ve known him for 25 years and he builds some nice hot rods and classics and does a lot of custom machine work. He’s the guy in the black shirt. The guy that owns the car does quite a few Batman appearances and they were headed down to Escondido for Cruising Grand, held every Friday April through September. The engine is a Ford 460 and the car is built on a mercury chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 No offense to your friend, but the Batmobile is nuclear, not internal combustion. "Atomic batteries to power." "Turbines to speed." And away they would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ummm... this is California. Do you really think they'd let civilians have their own mini nuclear reactors??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oak creek martin Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well there’s a guy that can’t afford to shoot SASS. We all can see where all his money and time go to. And where the hell do you put the gun cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
