DIY Your BatMan Tumbler?!

The Bob Dullam, a really BatMan Tumbler fan. He DIY his Tumbler replica from the movies Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This piece of automotive insanity is built from scratch using only references he could find on the Internet. One of his posts estimates the cost of the build to be around $50-70k USD. Bob says:
No, not building this to sell. You wouldn't want to sell this if you had one, believe me. It's a once in a lifetime project.
I did this alone, no help. I have found with other things in the past that if you have help, the help often does not get it(parts) right, and you have to do it over 95% of the time, plus I like to work alone. All parts are scratch built, cept' tires, rims, brakes, engine, etc.. meaning all bodyparts, brackets, just about everything external on the car. Yes, I will do a batpod, and TDK suit for myself. I love building this stuff.
