Default Little Angels Foundation's "Batmobile"

This is a project that we took on for a local group named The Little Angels Foundation. They're a not-for-profit group that builds and provides caskets at no charge to families who have lost children. When Bobby approached me about taking on the project, I talked it over with my guys and, everyone was like "YEAH, we'll do it!" Then the car arrived! Man, to say this car was in bad shape is a sharp understatement! Now, several months later, I just finished putting the flattened clear on it!

This car will be at numerous shows over the course of the next year and, will be raffled off to help support what they do. It was a lot of work but, well worth it. Someone will go home with this ride for the purchase of a $1 raffle ticket!

Nice, I may be in Gonzales tomorrow for the hot air ballon festival. My cousin signed up for some contest and won 10 tickets to go on a ride.

As tired as I was of seeing this car and, the hundreds of hours we put into it, the last picture was kind of a tough one to take. I guess I got attached to this car...Maybe it was it's cause...May be what I learned from it...May be...

Are those tires just for transport, they look big?

You guys did a fine job on the bodywork.

No. Those are THE tires. I agree with the size being big but, they felt it went with the theme of the car so, "let it eat," I say!

Joel is brilliant! Man, he came in and, maybe spent an hour doing what he had to do. I was still trying to figure out what he had done and, he was packing up!

Joel is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever come across! His charitable ways are unreal! Super nice guy with a heart of gold. His appearance(to most) doesn't match his personality. He's been a huge help with the Little Angels Foundation!
