A Cauldron of Batmobiles

I have a cauldron of 1966 Batmobiles.  They come in many variations, different colors, different paint types, and different markings.  Some are more like the TV series version, some are a lot different.  The lower plate, the body, the interior and the bubble are all the same and correct.  The wheels and tires very a lot between them.  Some are metallic, there is gloss black, and flat black, as well as dark blue.  The windshields are clear, blue, and dark smokey.    The above photo is the most common wheel type.
These wheels are rubber and have detailed tread patterns, and these are the dark smokey window glass.  The little bits of metal are from drilling out the rivets that hold them together.
This is the flat black paint version.  These are the common wheels.  The flat black version was used in the TV show for a few small shots because the car was not ready when filming started.  There is one rivet at the front and one at the rear.  They drill out easily and the bottom plate is plastic.  The car body is rather heavy metal.
Here is a line up of some of them, including some that were decorated with blue "flames."  My plan is to repaint some of them, new decals for a few of them, and I am swapping around the windshields, and tires.
