Check out Part 2 and 3 of the restoration
Part 2 : • KITT RESTORATION part 2
Part 3: • KITT RESTORATION 3
FIRST OFF I KNOW THE VID IS LONG BUT WATCH ALL OF IT, IT'S WORTH IT. This is the first, of my videos of my Knight Rider Replica. It all started with a 1982 Firebird Trans Am that I found sitting beside a guys barn. It was there for a year or so but was previously stored for the past 23 years in a garage. The project is going great so far I am starting with the exterior first as the interior needs no restoration with the car only having 48,000 miles on it and is mint inside. This summer I hope to get the KITT nose and taillight blackouts.

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

@Cheshiechick 11 лет назад

I always wanted one of these since I was a kid. Nice restoration.

@zark212 10 лет назад

Still one of the best looking cars ever created.

@marklgale 12 лет назад

Some people I am sure are just here to be awkward, Man your car is nice, top job on the restoration, love it!

My first car was an red 86! Man this brings back memories! she has 97,000 miles on her but she ran good! god i miss her so!

@sb61fury 12 лет назад

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

@pattas2005 12 лет назад

Piękny samochód Gratuluje ;)

@directs4fun 11 лет назад

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

@Richard2Ten 11 лет назад

in 8.46 part of your video where did you find the covers or what did you use.. to place those there where your fog lights are.

@LSD97123 11 лет назад

@Robocoppat 8 лет назад

One of the best KITT builds done. ok here's a familiar question -- where and name did you get the scanner/ light at? been looking for awhile and im running out of steam. Again great video and Great build

@SciaticCoast89 7 лет назад

patrick mcglone U can get one from sid knight ask him on RU-vid 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!

@SciaticCoast89 7 лет назад

Hope i helped!

@SciaticCoast89 7 лет назад

patrick mcglone Oh and its called the Helfire 64 Scanner

@dominating_reality 3 года назад

What were your steps for cleaning the rims?

@directs4fun 3 года назад

Back then it was honestly industrial cleaner and nylon brushes. I just redid a set of new ones for my car and I had those media blasted this time

@directs4fun 11 лет назад

@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.

@Fabfive8 12 лет назад

GREAT JOB BRO

@yorrickwi 13 лет назад

@bithelisa 13 лет назад

Very nice!!!

@bellaggio1770 12 лет назад

How much did you buy it for? How much did you spend on restauration?

@directs4fun 14 лет назад

@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

@jimmykudo23 12 лет назад

Dude we have the same louvers, chastian shadow right? I got them on my TA too Nice car and work

@directs4fun 11 лет назад

Thanks. make sure you check out the other 2 restoration videos to see what the car looks like now

@directs4fun 14 лет назад

@WideTrackGP92 Yes It did get painted as well

@directs4fun 13 лет назад

@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

@directs4fun 14 лет назад

@blueshield6630 LOL That is really fascinating. I guess it was just fate then huh. Thanks for the comment

@directs4fun 12 лет назад

I know right!

@rogerknight 12 лет назад

See my video " 1993 Pontiac Firebird 3.4 V6 Test - Car Motor Show by Carlos Cunha - 16/10/2011" and you will see how is possible add a scanner without changes in the bumper...

@directs4fun 12 лет назад

@MrMoviemaster99 Scanner is on it. check the second restoration video on my page to see it up close

@directs4fun 11 лет назад

I made those covers myself out of plexiglass

@directs4fun 12 лет назад

It is a built Chevy 350 motor.

@yorrickwi 13 лет назад

@Saxovtsrules probably a v8

@Johnny90531 11 лет назад

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 .

@MickScarborough 13 лет назад

Nice resto but why is it titled KITT restoration when there isnt one thing KITT about it.

@directs4fun 10 лет назад

Good idea, but it wasn't my trailer, so I don't think they would like that lol
