Warning: don't let your son see this story, otherwise he's guaranteed to ask for the impossible. Not finding a motorized car for his son other than the Barbie Power Wheels, one dad took it upon himself to create something unique -- a Batmobile! Using the car as a frame, he carefully designed and crafted a vehicle that every kid on the block will certainly look at with envy. Here's how he did it!
The first task was to strip the plastic off the car, leaving only the electrical components and frame. Instructables / Kirklewellen
Then he built the Batmobile frame, using wood and Styrofoam. Instructables / Kirklewellen
Next, he built out the body, filling it with sand and foam. Instructables / Kirklewellen
With the body complete, he turned his attention to the finish, using papier mâchÊ to shape the car to the requirements. Instructables / Kirklewellen

He also used layers of latex to cover up blemishes and provide a base for the paint. Instructables / Kirklewellen
