TheDailyWoo - 524 (12/7/13) Building The 1966 Batmobile !

0:03 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here.

0:03 It's my second channel, daily blog

0:05 channel. It's the daily woo. Say hello

0:08 here to Matt from fiberglassfreaks.com.

0:14 He's driving his vehicle, but we are

0:14 following Check out what we're following

0:17 in front of us.

0:25 It's the Batmobile. It's one of the

0:25 Batmobile that these guys create at

0:28 their little Batcave. They actually call

0:30 it the Bat Cave. And we're on our way to

0:32 the Batcave now. So, I'm going to be

0:34 quiet and see if we can get an up close

0:36 personal view with that right there.

0:39 We're following the Batmobile or what

0:42 will be a completed recreation of What

0:45 year was the Batmobile that you're rec?

0:48 The 1966

0:50 Batmobile right in front of us.

0:53 That is awesome. It's not quite

0:56 completed yet. What percentage of

0:57 completion would you say that's in? 75

1:00 75%

1:02 completed Batmobile ahead of us. Okay,

1:05 we're coming up to a stoplight here. So

1:07 hopefully we can get a good shot.

1:21 You see the tail lights aren't quite in

1:21 place yet. The lights there are shining

1:24 in our eyes. And there's also the little

1:26 flamethrower. That's not really a

1:28 flamethrower. That's the exhaust, right?

1:30 Where the flame pops out. Oh, it's

1:32 actually a flamethrower. Actually, it's

1:33 actually a flamethrower. So, you

1:35 actually put an actual flame in there

1:37 that protrudes out. It's up to a 20 lb

1:40 propane cylinder and there's an

1:42 electronic igniter in it that we can act

1:44 actuate from switches under the dash.

1:46 When we get up here to their bat cave,

1:48 now do you always call it the batcave?

1:49 The people that work there. When we get

1:51 up there to their batcave, we'll get out

1:52 and we'll show you what the car looks

1:55 like. And then hopefully we can show you

1:56 a picture or a photo of what it's going

1:58 to be completely look like once we get

2:00 up here, after we get through the green

2:02 light. I almost want to jump out and run

2:04 up there. He's taking off without us.

2:06 There we go.

2:16 You don't want to pass the Batmobile.

2:16 There's an unwritten rule to not pass a

2:18 Batmobile, but we're not going to pass

2:20 it. You know, I've actually been to the

2:21 Batcave in California. I've actually

2:24 been there. I did a vlog about 6 months

2:26 ago from the Batcave. And now I'm doing

2:28 a vlog today of the actual Batmobile.

2:31 They are the only licensed dealer

2:33 anywhere in the world. Correct. Correct.

2:35 Anywhere in the world. And it's DC

2:37 Comics. Yes, sir. DC Comics license

2:40 right here in Indiana. And now we're

2:42 coming up on the Batcave. Get excited

2:44 for the Batcave is now in front of us.

3:05 Is the Batcave going to open or we have

3:05 to manually get out and open the

3:06 Batcave? We have to manually never

3:14 Okay, awesome. I'm gonna jump out and

3:14 show you guys the Batmobile. Come on,

3:17 let's show you the Batmobile.

3:19 This is cool.

3:23 So, here we have the Batmobile straight

3:26 ahead.

3:28 Say hello to Mark inside the Batmobile.

3:31 Like, it's not completely finished yet.

3:33 He was telling me it's 75% completed.

3:37 You can see it's missing a seat here.

3:39 This is where Robin would probably sit.

3:40 Right. This is Did Robin ever actually

3:42 drive the Batmobile? Uh, he did twice.

3:45 Yes. Two times Robin drove the

3:47 Batmobile, but Robin is not here today,

3:49 as you can see. Get a front shot here.

3:54 Look at that. It's not quite painted

3:56 yet, but that's awesome.

4:02 Check out the steering wheel, the toggle

4:02 switches.

4:05 These guys are awesome. Make sure you

4:06 check them out on Facebook. Google their

4:08 Facebook page or that flame will come

4:10 out and annihilate your eyes. Maybe not

4:14 really. That's kind of dangerous though.

4:15 Imagine the flame, the finished product

4:17 of this. This is actually the 19th car

4:20 that they have worked on. This is number

4:22 19. People buy these cars. They create

4:25 them customade. They ship them all over

4:28 the world. Let's go in the back cave.

4:34 I got to get my camera. I don't want to

4:34 lose this over here. I got my other

4:36 camera as well. I'm going to put some

4:37 pictures up on Instagram probably or

4:39 Twitter or Facebook. Maybe I will, maybe

4:40 I won't. Okay, let's go in.

4:49 Look at this. There's another one up

4:49 here.

4:51 This is also a Batmobile as well.

4:53 Correct.

5:00 That will be the next one after this

5:00 one. All right. So, show me some quick

5:01 specifics of the car. Even though it's

5:04 not completely, it's only 75% completed.

5:08 Like he was saying, I was showing the

5:09 toggle switches. All right. The

5:12 dashboard of the Batmobile was very

5:13 unique. It had roll top sections. Each

5:16 of these doors uh are made up of 22

5:18 individually cut, mil, sanded, buffed,

5:20 and polished pieces. And uh those are

5:23 roll top sections. Those will be put

5:25 onto the car after it's uh in final

5:27 assembly. But everything on the car

5:29 works. U we live in a tactile world.

5:32 Everything has to have some kind of a

5:34 function. So, every single switch, every

5:36 single button, every single dial uh has

5:39 a function. Whether it be the horn

5:40 buttons, whether it be like here

5:42 eventually will be the bat beam antenna,

5:44 which raises and lowers on an automatic

5:46 antenna. It was capable of cutting

5:48 through 18 in of steel or 3 ft of

5:50 concrete on the TV show. Wow. Very cool.

5:52 There'll be an arch here that had the

5:54 beacon light up top, the warning lights

5:56 on the sides of it. The triple rocket

5:58 tubes were part of the anti- theft

5:59 system on the original car. That's what

6:01 those three holes represent. So, chrome

6:03 tubes will be put in there. Of course,

6:05 the propane will will make the fire come

6:07 out, right? For the the rocket exhaust

6:09 tube, flamethrower

6:15 that is connected, Mr. M. The steering

6:15 wheel here, I'm not sure, Mark. Are we

6:19 going to get a firstirhand look at the

6:20 flame? Maybe we might actually get a

6:22 firstirhand look at the flame.

6:39 Okay. Sorry about that. No flame. This

6:39 is a no flame zone. I don't want to get

6:41 too close cuz it might actually ignite.

6:43 Okay. Right out of there, the flame

6:45 comes. So, that's very cool. Do you have

6:47 a picture of the finished product? Oh,

6:48 yeah. Sure. Or you could go over their

6:50 website. I was letting them know about

6:51 your websites. You have a Facebook page.

6:53 What's your Facebook link? Facebook is

6:55 fiberglassaks. Fiberglassfreaks.com

6:58 or just Google it. It'll pop up on

6:59 Facebook. Add them on Facebook. Tell

7:02 them I sent you on Facebook. We head

7:04 this way and see more cars in

7:06 construction.

7:08 So, this is the 19th car. I was telling

7:10 them, but then you guys, this number 20

7:12 and 21. Mhm. Sure is. Absolutely. This

7:16 is what 10 of us do for a living. 10

7:19 people work here creating this. He was

7:21 saying he's been working on these

7:22 unofficially since he was 17 years old,

7:25 but they've been in business about a

7:26 decade. Correct. Right. So, he's been

7:28 doing this for a living for 10 years. 10

7:31 years. 10 people. All kind of murals on

7:33 the wall here. The Joker, of course. All

7:36 kind of Batman stuff. Creates a good

7:38 working environment.

7:40 Makes it a lot of fun, that's for sure.

7:42 So, this is the Bat Cave in Indiana.

7:46 Very cool.

7:48 I was noticing over there, too, we got

7:49 the little It's not really the Bat

7:51 Signal, but it is the Bat Signal logo on

7:53 the wall. Very, very cool. Right. We can

7:57 head into the front room where you can

7:59 see some pictures. Oh, cool. We're going

8:00 to go check out some pictures in the

8:01 front room. What the finished product

8:03 looks like. So, behind the scenes of

8:06 Fiberglass Freaks here on the Daily Woo.

8:10 Here you go.

8:12 Founded right there. 2003. Founded.

8:15 Little bats on top.

8:26 Here you go. Oh, they're they're signed

8:26 there for 10 years.

8:29 Minon. Where was this from? Oh, at the

8:30 Loganport Mall. Yeah, we held a minion

8:33 convention. Uh, we had 300 people in

8:36 attendance. It It was terrific to have

8:38 that kind of a turnout. And you had the

8:39 car there. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

8:44 There's the finished product right

8:45 there. That was from Auto Enthusiast

8:48 magazine. And this is one of the ones

8:49 that you created. Very cool. And then

8:52 here's a photo of five cars. This has

8:54 never been done in the history of

8:56 Batmobiles since 1966. Five Batmobiles

8:59 in the same photo. So the top one in the

9:02 middle is the first one that I built

9:04 back back in the the 1980s and then the

9:07 rest of them are modern incarnations.

9:09 Very cool. So that's kind of like a

9:10 Guinness Book of World Records. Even

9:12 though it's probably not in the Guinness

9:13 Book of World Records, but it's a

9:14 unofficial

9:16 Batman up there. It's an unofficial

9:18 world record right there. Five in a row.

9:21 Well, very cool. Anything other

9:22 interesting items you would like to

9:23 show? I think that takes care of us. A

9:27 Batman bag up there and of course

9:28 Superbat right there. Very cool. So,

9:32 make sure you go over to these guys

9:33 website also Facebook fiberglass freaks.

9:36 All right. Thanks very much. Thank you.

9:38 Thanks for watching everybody. Have a

9:40 great day. Goodbye.
