A Pennyworth's work:

Thanks so much for the correction, John!

Barris sold this car to JJ Born for the Chicago Antique Auto Museum, where the #4 dragster and 'a' Batcycle were on display.

What an incredible weekend! It was so great to catch up with bat buddies Scott, Troy, Alex, Jim, Bobbie, Kevin, and Troy, but additional great fun was had when meeting with Ben and Tim for the first time! Bobbie's visit was a complete surprise--it was great to catch up with her. Due to scheduling co...

While it is a really cool concept, I highly recommend that you do not pursue this at all. The 3D printed design they show snaps into the housing, and there is no mechanical lock. I have made wheel bats out of aluminum and out of steel, and the centrifugal force of them spinning is enough to put them...

It is hard to believe, but October 31st marks the one year anniversary of opening the Fiberglass Freaks' Batman Museum! To celebrate, we have something special planned for the entire month of October: Costume Contest Saturday, October 4th One for kiddos and one for adults Kids Corner Saturday, Octob...

Sorry for the delayed response:

Thanks so much for your kind comments, guys. It has been wonderful to watch as jaws drop, grins grow, and the twinkles in the eyes emerge. I look forward to showing you folks soon!

Thanks so much, folks! It has been a labor of love, that's for sure! The ribbon-cutting will be on Thursday, October 31st, at 11AM, with a city bigwig tour immediately following. The museum opens properly at 1PM and closes at 7PM. Alex will be there in person and as Robin Thursday through Saturday; ...

Holy blood, sweat, and tears! I have some great news about the Fiberglass Freaks' Batman Museum: we finally completed all of the state and local statutes and had our final inspections last week. We passed with flying colors! We will be opening the museum on Thursday, October 31st, 2024, at 1PM. I ho...

It was belt driven, not direct drive.

Huh. It most certainly wasn't pulled from the original molds that Barris made of the #1 car. It looks like a Bob Butts second generation heavily modified mold to me.

We are creating faux books (mainly for weight, partially for size). Jill found the pics on Worthpoint, for those that would like to know.

Jill found it! Thanks to the research that Greg Hill did, Jill found the match for the red and white books in the Wayne Manor study sliding bookcase. They are from Encyclopedia Americana Century 21 Limited Edition - Seattle 1962 World Fair Edition:

An astute Batfan has ascertained that this is an ultra rare copy of the Encyclopedia Americana, with the text matching another version; perhaps a 1964 World's Fair Edition?

Answer me this, my Bat bibliophiles! To the best of our knowledge, we have identified seven of the eight types of books on the Wayne Manor Study bookcase, but we need help with identifying the last one: the eight red and white books on the right end of the third shelf. Top Shelf: 26 Harvard Classics...
