we got to build it.

00:05 COMM: At Parker Brothers concepts in Florida,

the restrictions are at imagination.

00:09 SHANON: First rule is at Parker Brothers we

are going to build it and it is going to be a drivable vehicle.

00:13 COMM: Their client list includes celebraties

and Hollywood movie studios.

00:22 WOMAN: you only see these kind of stuff in

movies. Its awesome.

00:24 COMM: Marc and Shanon Parker design and build

incredible concept cars, custom motor bikes and stunning drivable recreations of the most

outlandish movie vehicles.

00:40 MARC: Somebody comes to us and says i want

a car with some rims, grade effects and some paint job and its boring you know we want

to show people that you can do things that have never been done before and push the envelope

a little bit and create things that are kind of iconic.

00:59 MARC: Shanon is the designer, he comes up

with these ideas, a lot of his inspiration i think comes more form comic books and movies

and he will come up with these really outlandish ideas and then bring me a drawing and go "hey

lets build this" and I look at it and go "what were you thinking?" he thinks that if he can

draw it on paper that I can build it out of metal and unfortunately it is more difficult

than that everything we build is drivable so then I have to come up with a way of taking

his ideas and his inspiration and kind of turning it into something that is actually

functional.

01:30 SHANON: Its really kind of the back and forth

I have to tweak it a little bit because you know a lot of times when I draw it, it is

too far out there and he has to kind of reign me back in a little bit but its that collaboration

that makes the vehicles turn out so cool.

01:43 COMM: As well as concept and custom builds

they also make replicas of famous movie vehicles including Optamis Prime from Transformers,

the Shreader from Battleship and an ECTO 1 from Ghost Busters. But the most stunning

is the Assault Tumbler which is from the Dark Knight Rises.

02:00 MARC: We had to build every inch of this from

scratch for the chassis, the body, the interior, the suspension, the wheels, the glass. I mean

pretty much all we could buy was a motor and it was pretty tricky now that the whole chassis

and body is a 2 wheeler chassis and its all built to construction, its not roomy inside

but it is pretty comfortable actually you know when it drives out really well, we had

to add a lot of little cameras, there are tiny little micro cameras all over it and

there is 7 or 8 video screens on the inside because there are a lot of blind spots. yeah

the gas miles things is not the greatest you know it does have a corvette engine in it.

But because of the shape of it there is not enough room to put the motor in the front

where it would normally go so what we had to do was put the motor in backwards so the

motor is here and the transmission is actually inside the vehicle and that runs into a gear

box that drops down and the drive shaft comes back underneath the motor and back to the

rear end.

03:07 MARC: The Tumbler here with we originally

had hooked up um the propane system of flames out and we didn't realise that was dangerous

and stupid and a lot of people almost got hurt so we disconnected that, normally we

can't get over 30 miles and hour with it because all the people around it its kind of hard

to go fast when you are being crowded in but if you wanted it to it could definitely move

because its got a good engine in it. How can you go wrong? this is just one of the coolest

cars that was ever dreamed off so occasionally we get to take it out and drive it around

and have some fun with it.

03:40 WOMAN: When I first saw the Tumbler I thought

it was just the coolest thing its awesome that it actually has a New York City Gotham

tag on it it is really, really cool.

03:49 MARC: If people can look at that and go oh

that is nice and keep passing by we probably didn't do our job right if people have to

stop what they are doing as they are driving out in the road yeah we have done something

right.

04:11 COMM: The brothers aren't sure how much they

spent building the Tumbler but how much would they be prepared to sell it for?

04:19 MARC: I really.

04:22 SHANON: I personally wouldn't sell it to me

its that cool and it took that much time and effort to build it so I mean why would you

get rid of it are you crazy?
