Absolutely Beautiful...and whoever painted/cleared it is an artist...flawless!

[@gakaface]

I've just watched this right through. I can't believe your attention to detail and the love and care you put into this project. An outstanding achievement and the finished car is magnificent.

[@PreciousRidez]

Love how it came out, can't wait to be at that stage of prep & paint. Nice job, I liked & subscribed as well. 👍👍

[@80s90sGuy]

Thanks for the sub!

[@checkmoney9891]

One of the best classics ever from the 80's the car is just awesome!!!

[@TheKomar924]

I LOVE the music. When the car was in deconstruction mode. The music brought me back in time to when KITT got destroyed. Great chronicle of your build!

[@Punisher0107]

Great job!, thanks for bringing great memories, I dreamed of this car for so many years. I grew up watching this show just like you.

[@focusoutbill]

Your KITT is absolutely BEAUTIFUL~! Fantastic job . . .

[@knightrcer]

Wow! incredible job. Wilton Knight would be proud. Now for the interior...

[@JasonFlattTiller16401]

Awesome, well done! I can see that you invested a lot of work into it.

[@MrJohnmiller141]

very nice paint job, very clean. great work.

[@w.m.aslam-author]

That's one of the best conversions I've seen and also my favourite dream machine. Amazing work!

[@MrPennyBlack]

Perfect Job dude!!!!KITT FOR EVER FAMOUS!!!With this tv series i grow up at 80's ! GRettings from GReece !!++++++++++

[@mr.mediocregamer9653]

This looked like an awesome and rewarding build. Congratulations on having your own KITT!

[@fahdiaambreen3563]

my nephew is obsessed with knight rider and absolutely loved this vid... thanks!!

[@america6545]

Please, let us see a vid when you finish your KITT, such an awesome job.

[@yinzerghost]

Great job! When that scanner lit up, I was a kid again.

[@howardpower]

Beautiful! We'll all be waiting for the KITT dash video.

[@directorstube1]

Wow, nice job. Not only do you have a KITT (and I envy you), but you created it and will have it forever....or as long as you want it!

[@callsignsleepwalker7231]

We'll I've got myself a 92, right spoiler and hood. Time to make a kit

[@Dorispolis]

Wow. My Dream car! I was watching the show since seven years till and still watching ! awesome job!

[@derwenthotel]

WOW! That is one beautiful car credit due to you for all the hard work...you must be so proud!

[@gutz1981]

Damn Australian law. You have to have a number plate in front and behind. Wish they could make an exception on cars like these. Well done, beautiful job.

[@TASMAN-1]

I can fully appreciate the work you put in to the body alone. Black is THE hardest colour to use. It's hard to hide imperfections underneath a mirror finish! Building a "complete" KITT is another story all together. Could be useful to incorporate a touch screen interface if you do go ahead with it. Maybe retro fit something from a modern vehicle with GPS, internet connectivity etc. & If it were me, I would definitely try to cram a supercharger under the hood so KITT can live up to his reputation of incredible bursts of acceleration! I also reckon a Tesla drive train underneath would WOW the masses.

[@epsilonian818]

Fantastic work. Took me back to my childhood.

[@falcon0351]

Being a vehicle spray painter I know what's involved in building cars like these.congratulations it's beautiful 👍..enjoy mate

[@michaelknight2721]

Fully agree I'am taking a KITT replica for a drive in May on what is called an experience day. I too would love a KITT replica one day.

[@janekmorel]

Amazing bodywork and attention to details. Awesome!

[@CasPrelude]

DAMN HE LOOKS GOOOOOOD! Nice job! Damn thats my dream too. One day I will build KITT ony own.

[@dajana_0753]

Let's start a KITT club 😀

[@sptonko]

Lots of hard work, and a beautiful final result!! Do the inside next.

[@Shouvak]

Damn, even if you run into someone who never heard of the show, that is a damned fine ride. Good work.

[@sudijad]

Speechless...! What's even more impressive, is its in Australia!!!

[@holgerwacholder3581]

Joining the queue for the dash here...nice nice paint, its like you can dive into it!.

[@TimeRequiem]

[@notmanynamesleft]

Fantastic! great to see the transformation and lovely end product. 👍

[@Bigflank]

Great job with the music timing! And kudos for following through and completing such a large project!

[@tapower74]

Very very nice! First thing I thought of when I noticed the RHD was OMG a KITT in Aust!!

[@CubeCyclone]

That right there is a real labour of love ! Nice job !

[@EnricoMarangonJunior]

Owww man !! That's "A Ride" !!! congrats to your job, amazing dream.

[@piergiorgiogoldoni9652]

It's your dream, my dream and i think is the dream of many guys of the 80's come true. Well done great job. Ciao da Modena ( hometown of Rerrari racing cars ) Italia

[@billymclane9895]

I liked Knight Rider it was a great TV show and I have a friend in Claremore that has a replica of Kitt from seasons 3 and 4.

[@dannydowd9768]

🤣 Now I remember that’s the song from The return of KITT. After being drowned in cement.

[@neilmustow368]

Was toxic waste Danny Junk yard dog was the episode

[@capokhatpin]

Brilliant. Please upload footage of the dash when its done. I love projects like these.

[@SamuelVain]

So jealous and want one for years myself! Great job on yours!

[@mrrajrattanful]

Great project and great result.....you can see the effort

[@kingofmadness4333]

Awesome work. I'm planning to do the exact same thing to my 1982 Firebird Trans-am.

[@80s90sGuy]

KingOfMadness 43 Cool. thanks. Good luck with yours.👍 Take lots of pics etc and post a vid.

[@jojoestranger4989]

Nice job Buddy,huge fan of that show in the 80's here in the Philippines.

[@asimrashid5955]

Great video found it very relaxing and therapeutical...good old kit

[@80s90sGuy]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. :D

[@wozza0013]

howdy , have just watched your transformation clip , are you able to order the red scanner or did you make that yourself ?? [e-mail]

[@80s90sGuy]

Hi yes you can order it. I got mine from www.knight-f2k4.com/ I did have to wait a year for it.

[@kilonaliosI]

hoffmachine awesome work, well done.

[@tamaking86]

***** Does it really matter what side of the car the steering wheel is on? He has his OWN KITT....not the original KITT.

[@tamaking86]

Right. But he hasn't done that yet.

[@WHR17]

Talk about a labor of love!!! Great job it looks amazing!!!

[@jasonschubert6828]

Great job! Also loved how the music built up to the Knight Rider theme just as it started coming together in the right colour :)

[@ChipJohnson]

Very nice. I'm a bit jealous, I'll admit. Next up: all the interior lights and dash.

[@Anniebmice]

Wow!! Now THAT is a sexy car!! Amazing job!! So great to see fans who are truly dedicated to this show! :) Can't wait to see it when you finally install the dashboard! :D

[@kathrynannwattsfabofkitt]

Great job creating the best Knight Industries Two-Thousand KITT replica ever! Now don't forget to add the voice of William Daniels when you install the voice modulator!

[@captvictor]

flipppin awesome transformation, Engineering a right hand drive KITT will be a task; but will be awesome... best of luck...

[@Wolverine6617]

Well done looks fantastic.

[@jignat]

Lots of hard work, but a very beautiful end result. I'm jealous lol.

[@FairytaleVideobiz]

Nice job! That's the first Firebird I seen with the steering wheel on right side of the car. That would look cool here in the states.

[@Juggernaut30]

Love it!!! Black is beautiful!!!!

[@starealejaretv]

Looks stunning. Good job!

[@BlownKR16v]

Right hand drive KITT i like that! Greetings from Cyprus! Good job my friend!

[@SonnyGTA]

did SUCH a great job!!! very nice and very impressive!

[@SuperFlash75]

Awesomeness bro you finally have your very own Kitt

[@Jayke1981]

unusual to see a UK style KITT car (right hand drive)

[@TheGemini5]

Didn't even realize it! Was too amazed..lol

[@Banana-fk8wb]

Pretty sure its Australia as you see the number plate as WA (Western Australia)

[@Jayke1981]

you could be right there. Aussies have right hand drives too. And our driveways don't look like that in the green UK!

[@Banana-fk8wb]

Yeah haha just noticed the Western Australia Number Plate!

[@charliee_asf]

Banana I actually think i've seen that car before then, wow what do you know

[@genisonkobe]

Wow! I love this car! Nice work!!!

[@gustavosaliola]

You're Insane! What a beautiful job. Looks like a real production car (Like the one's wrecked in the jump scenes)

[@Trickshot-pk7dr]

Wow that's so impressive the accuracy. Great workmanship, well done mate.

[@donwinslow6967]

Damn, that is some awesome work! 'Knight Rider' is one of my all-time favorites. I was thirteen when the show originally aired. Driving that car around town must be pretty sweet. You've done KITT proud. One day I hope to have my own KITT. It's great to see that great shows we grew up with still inspire so many. I'm looking forward to seeing the interior work on KITT's dashboard. It's obvious that you put a ton of love into this. I subscribed to your channel. "One man can make a difference."

[@jmgreen87]

wow what a transformation!! I'd love to own one just like that

[@antoniocsilsantos]

Beautiful car! Great work! Congratulations.

[@williamsbattisti4210]

Guy, your car is simple the best!!!

[@MrTravisMaxson]

Nicely recreated... I always wanted to do that when I was younger. Never had the resources or obtained the know-how.

[@xHeartbeatxx]

I really enjoy this. This is awesome! I'm a girl, and I think I have an obsession too haha. I'm still watching episodes online when I have free time. Great work!

[@ericofcrows]

didn't realise you could get a right hand drive version. nice work on the conversion!

[@MotorScotti]

Turned out really nice, well done!

[@viawhalescalper6412]

Loved the part when he was grinding and cutting out front lights in his sandals. Lol that's determination. Great job bad ass car bro. I gotta couple projects I'm working on can't wait to be done and able to drive em.

[@knightmedia1]

As you have a season 1/2 bumper there, best to stick with the same season dash. Great build, love the video, hope to see more soon

[@tobydobo4080]

Loved it! Can't wait to see dash kit if/when that happens.

[@DeemalAtapattu]

Absolutely fantastic job! Hope yo get to finish the dash soon as well :)

[@trash_house_customs3928]

am i the only one that thinks a RHD firebird is just by far the coolest thing about this video

[@jarmelo2006]

I consecutively bought 4 of the 3rd generation pontiac fire birlds. Its the coolest thing ever these cars are so much fun...! and are nothing to maintain. They drink alot a gasoline but man I had fun...!

[@LordOfThunderUK]

Great work Sir, good job!!!

[@TravisDeans]

Very cool! Thanks for posting this video! Amazed at what you did!

[@olgasM3]

Brilliant! I've done auto body striping the long hard way as you did and it's brutal work. Great looking end result! Hadn't realized you could get KITT, props :)

[@CZR1951]

that's awesome, lots of work but it definitely paid off.

[@clive3001]

This is fantastic....well done mate !!!!

[@CerebralAssassin1977]

Absolutely awesome! love this car.....always have. nice job!

[@kostasauris]

Great job! Now it's time for the dash!!!

[@feynthefallen]

That paint stripper shot looks awesome.

[@kennywatts9906]

I got my very own knight rider car too which was in blue it took me around 2 years to fully look like the knight rider car we all know and love .I drive it all the time .and even today it turns heads .people ask do I want to sell it .but the answer will always be noooooooo way

[@michaelpeden1]

fantastic effort , all the best delboy-van-hire.com mike in tapping

[@Ajtori93]

I like that!Looks just like Kitt!

[@Skyliner89]

Great job ;). Beautiful car ;). You must be proud of it. I wish someday I will have my own KITT

[@greekguytalks]

looks thousand times better

[@abarth0800]

Beautiful work, well done.

[@AgentOrange859]

Man, If we were neighbours and worked in the same company, I'd so be mopping a ride with you every morning. Hell, I'd even pay for gas! Sweet ride, bruh.

[@Molko]

Oh, my dream car:) What a beauty, I love it, and also a lot of work, time and money, congratulation
