  1. thanks i have recently redid this in a completely different way
  2. thank you this is a replica of one of the 3 general purpose hardtop stunt cars with fake t-tops that was used in all 4 seasons of the original show
  3. thank you i have another different knight rider hardtop general purpose stunt car kitt that i will be posting tomorrow
  4. I made this model using the front nose and back bumper from a mpc knight rider Kitt model kit and a original mpc 82 firebird kit I wanted to make one of the general purpose hard top stunt car KITTs they used on the show they would make it look like the car had t-tops via strips of metal or plastic either riveted or glued to the hard tops roof I mimic it using some wires from a old pair of earbuds I also made a skid plate that all these stunt cars had to cover the oil pan and transmission and some of the front suspension also the stunt cars would either have a pretty much factory stock dash with a cut out plastic of cardboard outline of the top of knight rider dash on top of the factory stock dash pad or a the hollow knight rider dash frame work I have a piece of music from the show called KITT to the rescue playing in the background
  5. Amazing work looks great
  6. Nice work looks awesome job
  7. awesome work looks great the chassis issue might have been cause they modifed this kit at some point in the 90's to make a 69 torino talladega kit and that car had a longer front end then the torino cobra does you can see optional parts from the talladega version in the parts trees with all 69 torino releases after it
  8. I have but I found something else that dries quicker and is cheaper and I get a lot more though it does need to have brush on gloss clear coat applied before I can paint it or it will not have the same texture as the model parts and I use a brush on matte clear coat for interior parts
  9. I have been using that metallic black on 3 of the 4 other what if knight rider kitts I am making using 3rd gen Camaros and they are a mix of ideas from both the original knight rider series and the short lived 08/09 knight rider series two of the three metallic black what if kitts are finished except for the license plate decals I am waiting on to come so I can take pics and film the turntable videos of
  10. Very very awesome work looks great
  11. Very nice work looks great going by the vents in the hood and the rims it looks like 2015 cause the revell build and play 2015 mustang gt snap kit had those same rims and same hood vents though the rear spoiler wing looks like the one that comes with the revell build and play 2018 mustang gt snap kit but it has different style rims and hood vents
  12. Thank you I do enjoy making knight rider cars as they have a lot of fun parts that I can make like the dash and interior components and when I have to I can scratch make the custom front ends I just don’t have enough of the rims and the steering wheels I modify into the gull wing steering wheel which I used my last one of those spare 76 gran torino steering wheels to make the one for this car the other one went into the knight industries 3000 model I made
  13. Thank you I have a lot of fun making those knight industries dashboards I just wish I had a few more sets of those particular rims
  14. I modified a 1/25 scale amt 2016 camaro ss snap kit I sculpted the new front end and hood scoop with sculpting putty I also filled in the other hood vent and edges of the sides of the tail lights to mimic a firebird back end with some sculpting putty I also added t-tops and swapped the camaro dash with a spare Revell 2014 corvette stingray dash which I also modified to mimic the classic Kitt dash from seasons 3&4 I also modified the front seats to look like the pmd seats used in the original Kitt I used a set of 1/24 scale tires and a set of 1/25 scale firebird turbo cast rims I used Tamiya ts-40 metallic black for the body I have a cover of the knight rider intro theme playing in the background of the video
  15. Nice work looks great The lindberg kit was originally the testors Lincoln mint 1/24 scale plastic 2006 charger r/t and 2006 charger daytona r/t kits lindberg ended up with the molds around 2010 when this kits came out and they then modified the kit into various Charger police car kits
