[Shotimes] OT: Batmobile

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

Some interesting factoids about the 1989 Batmobile:
Wilkinson's Body Shop, a custom/resto shop just outside of Toledo,
did the paint work on the Batmobiles.  They got three of them in at
once to paint.  Some special kind of custom paint.
The cars were built in different shops.  Some place up around
Detroit did the chassis', then they were sent to Wilkinson's to get
painted.  Then they were sent somewhere else for electronics and
all the cool geegaws that Batman has to have. 
A friend of mine is really good friends with Tom Wilkinson, and
let us in to see them, even though he wasn't supposed to.  Very cool.
