batbuilder's LP640 called "No Mercie"

[batbuilder]

Thanks Chris I appreciate your kind words. I want to share my tow bar system which worked out great. And the doors. I'm using a lot of info from Jetts build log. That has helped me to understand where I have to go. I hope to be able to share more info and be a good contributer. Thanks again those comments keep me posting...dave

Looks better than brand new.

I like to see this level of detail spent on items you don't normally as it says volumes for the work that you will see.

Keep the updates coming please?

It was $150 to sandblast and powdercoat the engine cradle and sandblast all the rear suspension links

[batbuilder]

Got the engine cradle back from the powdercoater it looks fantabulous...

[batbuilder]

The mirror mounts are a pretty tight fit

[batbuilder]

Here's a little fiberglass mess but it will sand up fine

[batbuilder]

Here's the second handrest being readied for the fiberglassing

[batbuilder]

The little bridge is going to be an exact copy of the underside of the instrument pod

[batbuilder]

Here is the underside. The piece will be installed with resin and powder fiberglass.

[batbuilder]

Here is a fiberglass panel that will be mounted to the mirror. Reason I do this is the replica mirror has no give if it is severly struck. So rather than have bolts tear the door off I use a piece of fiberglass panel to act as a sacrificial mount meaning it will break before the door. Since it is fiberglass its easily repaired. The goal is still not to severly stick the mirror. Thats my reasoning

[batbuilder]

The door handle that was cut in the right position

[batbuilder]

Here is the right dash piece sunbathing in the sun. Fits a lot better. The door is there because we accidently cut the door handle out in the wrong place. Hey it happens...

[batbuilder]

This has absolutely nothing to doe with the "No Mercy". Parts for the bat bike...Lol

[batbuilder]

The arm rest is fiberglassed on the inside. OK before you ask what the heck is dave doing give me some time to finish it. I have a crazy idea on how to make the door more accessible. Yeah its so crazy it just might work. i've been going a little backward on the door trying to straighten it out. I still have pics on that to show.

[batbuilder]

Here is the arm rest with two fiberglass panels that will be fiberglassed in so I can attach the button head screws into a solid piece of fiberglass. Oh its sitting on a 1/2 sized Dark Knight Tumbler replica I am building. Lots of fiberglassing fun.
