    I hope you change your mind about bringing it to Mego Meet. This is a Definite show stopper.
    I know there is a Gentleman who has a 1966 Batmobile that he brings to Shows... Charges $10 a photo gives $5 from every Photo to Cystic Fibrosis. Maybe you can do the same... $5 to a charity that you hold near and dear and the other $5 to help Maintain the Vehicle.

    Something to Kick Around

      That's pretty slick. But you HAVE to wear a Joker costume while driving.

        Love the use of the grill for the teeth. I vote you should add the last couple of molars on the upper side.
        Any reason why you went with AJ's roof rather than red?

          This is just beyond fun!!! I hope it brings you tons of joy driving it about. And I second, the hope you change your mind and bring it to the Meet (though I completely understand why you'd prefer not to).
          WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

            I went with the white roof for 2 reasons. First I thought the red/orange roof was not to my taste. Second, with no AC a white roof does the best to reflect the heat.

            Oh and I plan to paint this on the roof:

              I had some misgivings about the white roof, but adding the playing card motif is genius.

              Did you figure out a daisy or boxing glove yet?

                I bought a cheap boxing glove toy, but I need something sturdier.

                I have a dash solar flower, but again - I need something better.

                        Have you thought about using one of those over-sized inflatable boxing gloves?

                                That is just crazy awesome! The craftsmanship and imagination on this custom is just awe-inducing. Congratulations on an amazing piece of work. That should be like the first Mego Meet show car (er... van).
