Although the builder of the original Batmobile, George Barris, has signed a plaque on this car and it has the Barris Crests on the front quarters, the origins are still a bit hazy. Regardless of its status as a replica it is a very well built piece.



The DeLorean was just an incredible car. The detail on all the props were exceptional.



It was a blast detailing those two cars since each one presented us with some unique challenges. There was also a time limit because they were scheduled to be displayed at a charity event later that week.

I did try to take the DeLorean on a spin back to 1957 but the Mr. Fusion was acting up and we didn't have any spare plutonium.

I'd like to thank Casey for letting me join in on these details. I'll also say Casey has landed these jobs because he has demonstrated the ability to far exceed the customers expectations.
