That car is a thing of beauty. My Uncle owns a Black 82. Every time I look at it I think KITT.

It will also look really good with tinted windows. I had 1 of these but it was 2 years younger but I wrecked mine back in '96. My insurance company totalled the car , I was told by the adjuster that the car could be fixed and put back on the road. I told him flat out " That is what you are going to do with it. I also had 1 of those loud car stereo systems in mine also. I still miss the car and I wish I never let the insurance company take it

Great job mate! Can't believe you had a comment saying there wasn't one thing about KITT on it lol
@directs4fun14 жыл бұрын
@SuperSaxDude101Thank You very much. Surprisingly al this was done last spring and summer, but then again I had a lot of great people give me a hand when i needed it. I bought my first firebird for $200 and started fixing it up, then realized that if im going to do it, do it right, get the right car. Yes I did build the Plexiglas that is in the front bumper. again thank you for your comment

There are several different suppliers. Knight Designs is owned by Billy Gunter and his work is amazing. Rob Louisell is like the father of the replica world. Do a google search for Knight rider parts. Good Luck and feel free to ask any questions

@jamesalessi1. Thanks for all your nice comments. I will say that in Season 1 KITT had a variation of 2 per side or 3 per side. depending on the episode you are watching. The producers were always changing little things on the car throughout the show.

patrick mcglone U can get one from sid knight ask him on KZbin or go to his website, he sells good LED scanners for $200, trust me they are worth it! Since they're LED u can leave it running all day without draining the batteries, its very screen accurate and it has different modes to chose from. Im sure you will like it!

@MickScarborough IT is titled KITT because ultimately that is what the car is going to be when I am finished. hence part 1 in the title. bilding these cars are expensive and take a lot of time. I would rather post what i have now, then wait all that time for when i am done. Also that video is still out of date I added somethings to it recently and I'll edit and re-post it as soon as winter is over here in Ohio. Thanks for the interest

Their is a big difference in this car and the real knight kit . Kit has a sharper longer nose with 6 clear lights under the nose . And at the bottom of the nose is a pointy scoop . And the hood is built up in the middle almost like a v shape . . Good spray job but u could have worked more on building the front up . U left out the 6 clear lights , and just below were the red light moves side to side , should be built up as well .
