The American Dream - My Knight Rider KITT Project :-)



-J-

  RS2'ed 172 Cup
The dash looks great, I hope you can dim the lights at night otherwise it's gonna be like an 80's night club driving down the road ;)

Nope can't be dimmed lol. It's weird though it's not that bad to drive with lol. Countdown on the top is bright but you sort of look through it and can manage he he. Most distracting part is the voice box as it moves and "talks" to music lol and even worse when Kitt is actually talking ha ha

I'm sure we'd pitch in to ensure it was there.

Very kind of you :) much appreciated! Hopefully by CSS the car will be totally totally finished. All consoles in and functional and in the next few weeks he will have a PA system installed so bystanders can also hear Kitt talking ;)

Well off to pick up some rear seats for KITT on wednesday, ones that will match the new PMD's and then i will have a spare set.... they are a freebie so may as well.
Painted the switchpods today, but need another coat or 2 before I can fit them!
Next on the list will be order the lower console and then the interior will be pretty much done and dusted!

Thanks mate :) the dash really transforms the car :) can't wait to get the final console in and have the KITT interior virtually finished! Pmds need recovering then they can go in too! :)

Not ENTIRELY true. There was ONE episode in season 2 where Michael jumps from a truck onto kitts bonnet and you see leather seats through his windscreen lol. So TECHNICALLY...... I'm still screen accurate lmao

Well thanks to my new job kitt has been neglected to f**k recently. Finally got to give him a wash and rotary polish today. Still nowhere near perfect but looks better than he did and is at least protected now!

I'm planning on replacing the wheels at some point for silver turbocasts. The ones I have on are virtually identical but are turbofins so the outer rim is slightly thinner and obviously not gold so these will do for now as proper ones are 1000 pounds ha ha

Here's a few from a recent car show I did. Hopefully soon I can get his rust free hood painted and on the car as the one that's on is starting to look shabby! Eventually gonna look at having another respray I think of the whole car
