We are actually trying to do this, but not sure we will have the time to complete it in time for the race. If not we will be adding them afterwards.

Thanks,

BTW, are there going to be working "Bat Head Lights" on it? :lol: :lol:


Cheers
the car is approximately 10'x4' The styrofoam that was used was a solid block, so it varies depending on how much was carved out. There actually is very little styrofoam left, it's mostly fibreglass. the fibreglass is about 1/4"-3/8" thick.

We'll be doing a reveal of the finished car on our facebook page very shortly
