I´m so happy that one person understand me. Thank you! I would like produce it, but I don`t have much time and I don`t know to work with mold. Here is another error. The side lights arent flush. another error.jpg Compared it to my 1:1 KITT...looks correct to me. Your picture appears to be skewed: h...

The board from Jameco should be able to power all the LEDs in the Jupiter circuit. I made a similar Vu meter from scratch, using only a schematic I found on line, which ended up being wrong anyway. I found the problem and fixed it, and amended the schematic. If you've never done anything with electr...

Amazing work! Very nice job. I have a KITT that I am making and would like to offer some help on your interior if I may. The seats only have that plastic trim that covers the hinge on the outside of the cushions, not on both sides. The seat cushions are directly against the center console. See my pi...

Awesome!

Chris

I bought the PC boards from Jupiter and then bought this VU meter kit from Jameco, which makes the circuit building easier and actually ends up cheaper than trying to find all the components needed: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_147643_-1 I built the Jameco mete...

Just received word from Hot Wheels contact...this is INDEED a 1/64th diecast. He didn't mention the scanner or voice chip, but I assume it is probably part of the packaging and not the actual car.

You know this is just a TOY right? All details wont be 100% correct. You´re right!!! You are a toy collector. I am a scale model car collector. Can You feel the difference? I believe, how I can see here, that if a maker do a VW Beetle w/ front scanner, You will buy it. Brian has a REAL 1:1 scale, t...

Yikes! Was that Don Colie's scan boards? Good thing you were able to get them out in time. My overhead buttons (5 also...I mistyped) work like this...When you turn the ignition key, they light up, and the car will not start. You press the keys in a certain pattern (and they tone like the show), and,...

Looking Good, Brian!!! I see you went with the two rows of 6 push buttons on the overhead like I did. Only difference is I did alternating red/green and yours are all red. Looks really nice, buddy!! Are you using them for anything? I did that whole engine starter sequencer with them that I posted on...

Hello and welcome. Making a Knight Rider conversion is a daunting task. My best recommendation is to first decide which Season KITT you want to make, as the noses are all different. Then, Google Image Knight Rider KITT 1982 (because you don't want pictures of the Mustang KITT) and you will have a lo...

Joe,
I'm sending 2 pics from Universal Studios to your email.

Chris

I don't think there are any clear screen shots of the Season 1 or 2 dash (they are different). Here are pictures of what my console will look like. This is Season 1. I don't know who owns this console. It is from what we can piece together from watching Knight Rider episodes. The only thing that is ...

That's the car folks, the screen used Kitt #1083/1197 found about 7 years ago, restored and sold at Kassabian motors on 2007. This is the car you saw at KR events in Vegas, one of the pilot cars. Tony Tony, If this was a pilot KITT, has any modifications been done on it? I would LOVE to see a pictu...

Funny, Mark. How about NORTHERN KNIGHTS NEW YORK! :lol: I can't travel...disability since those SOBs screwed me up during 9/11. Anyway, best of luck and maybe, someday, they'll have something this good up here that I can attend. Chris If I moved it up north it wouldn't be called SOUTHERN KNIGHTS ATL...

Just an update. All the details have not been worked out, but that original KITT is tentatively scheduled to be at the SOUTHERN KNIGHTS ATLANTA 2012 30th anniversary event. Hope to see you all there!

The desert shot of KITT looks like it's from the episode "Goliath" which is 2nd season opener. Most of the time the nose was the same in season 2 and 3 and your model looks perfect copy of that :) In 1st season, the areas both side next to the scanner opening had covers for turnsignals an...

Don Collie's original Season 1/2 dash is not accurate at all. It's easy to see if you compare the pictures on his site to any from the KR series. Don has acknowledge that fact and supposedly has fixed the inaccuracies and made the whole dash accurate. However, there aren't pictures of his new and im...

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Joe. Maybe I'll clarify that by saying there are no 1st Season Cars with the original Scheffe nose left.

Chris

You do realize that the nose on the Hot Wheels is a Season 1 and yours seems to be a Season 3 nose. And I am VERY impressed with your work on this. Amazing attention to detail. Excellent!

Chris

As far as I know, all screen used KITT were destroyed after Knight Rider was cancelled. It was an agreement Universal Pictures made with GM for providing them with the Trans Ams. The only KITTs that are around, besides the fan conversions, are either from the Universal Studios theme park, or those t...

Be more specific.

Chris

AWESOME! I see they took my suggestion and removed the front ground effects. I've also suggested possibly making the dash light up and gave them a solution to how they could do it simply and cheaply. They liked the idea, so let's see if they incorporate it into this great diecast!

ChrisO

First, and I can't stress this enough, KITT NEVER had an orange fog light. I don't know where this idea came from, but I absolutely HATE it. Second, Hot Wheels is coming out with the same size (1/18) scale as the Ertl, only First Season. There's a discussion about it on this board, and I've been in ...
