Ohhh,I cant wait to see yours.

Im still in shock and awe over how awesome this will be.

Thanks guys! I am really excited too!
Heres some more pics of the attack mode fresh after having the add on parts painted.

Nice pics again!
Thanks for the answer!
Sounds exciting that you are building one as well
I saw your videos about your replicas and parts like the original scanner from the show: Nice work!
Nice connections with the showmakers!
You are a lucky man, but a really lucky one
So keep up the good work with your replicas

This attack mode is MUCH better because it can transform in real life instead of cgi.
The collapsable hydroblower will be a prop fitted above the engine that will raise two fold out panels by hydraulics when in attack mode. I will be getting Pierre from Auto Indulgence to figure out a way to do the innershell red light treatment. My bodywork guy can take 2" off the top.
The spoiler lifts up and pushs forward. The sides should be fun as hell to do too.
This is gonna look so boss!
Oh boy ideas ideas!

Dude... how did you get those pictures????? Man, you've got connections... that's how you got the pilot movie scanner light!!!!

And don't you have like... a job or something?? You're building a KI3T replica with the REAL scanner light, an actual functioning AI unit that recognizes voice commands and spits out actual and appropriate lines from the series in Val Kilmer's voice WITH the proper graphics in the globe, a working touchscreen center console as in the pilot, a working HUD to project info up onto your windshield... AND you're going to make an attack mode KITT??? Not to mention all of those awesome youtube videos! Holy Crap!

What do I do for a living?
Why am I building KI3T in real life?
How far am I willing to go?
Where do I get my 'funding'?
Why does KI3T like acid jazz?

Art imitates life and vice versa.

Answer: I have a hope of finding intelligent solutions to violent problems, problems that have changed little in tens if not hundreds of years.
That's what keeps me going, I truly share the same dream.

Dude Taoworm is goinga be the Knight Rider

Wow just wow

Hey taoworm, it's so great that you are building the preproduction version of attack mode. As I stated earlier I think it looks much much better than the final version. So I am excited to see it become reality. So please keep us informed about your progress. And good luck for your project

Thanks Garthe! I will keep everyone here posted!

The 4th picture down is a good picture! I love the angle of the shot and the reflection of the American flag in the windshield. It made giggle and smile. =)

Sounds like a plan...

WOW....just WOW

Thats goinga be amazing

Wow that is just ......Awsome

I always love seeing behind the scenes pictures, especially of anything Knight Rider! It's an even better treat when we get hi-res shots of concept art that has never before been seen by anyone other than the production teams!!! I do however have to say that the pre-production KI3T looks completely badass in the artwork but I just watched the CGI mockup video and honestly, I think I like the version they ultimately went with better. The final Attack Mode version has the car do a lot more in the way of actually transforming into one fierce-looking vehicle while the pre-production version just has things that pop out and slide out from the car much the way the original SPM did, leaving a little too much of the original look of the "normal" mode intact. But to each his own and if some people like the preproduction version better, that's fine too.

I respect your point of view on the attack mode KFCreator.
The series version is more extreme, I agree.
But I think that works against it.
The final changes made to the Attack Mode were weak in my opinion. And the blue seemed an odd choice for KITT to begin with.
This thing will look fierce at night with its all red theme.
The red lights in the engine bay highlighting the collapsable hydroblower is gonna look badass at night. (And much better than the 3 'cone' intakes the series used.)
The pneumatic brakes on the sides. The red highlights in the back and sides.
This thing is gonna look mean as hell coming from straight on too.
Plus the all too important factor of the thing actually being able to transform.
We laughed the other week in the shop because we were talking about how the only thing we were going to be able to do for attack mode was change the dash lights from blue to red and have Val respond with a confirmation. Now it seems we can be true to the show (in a very odd way) and still have a functional Attack Mode. (Which was unheard off to me in all practical means 3 weeks ago.)
So I am very excited to see what it looks like when it's finished. Because I can see it plan as day in my head.

Love the work you are putting into your car and the awesome pics man but you still managed to avoid the "What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks do you do for a living!?!?!?" question LOL.

So I did...

To be honest i did not like some of the parts in the attack mode picture and the one in the video that looks like the attack mode from the movie

Gee ozikool, thats kinda vauge.
But thats quite alright, because to be honest, you won't have to drive the car everyday. I will.
And I think it will be awesome!

Of course we are all entitled to our own opinion. (I feel the same way about the series Attack Mode.)
No offense is ever taken.

Yeah the series attack mode,well Im still trying to get use to it.I almost like it when they dont have to use it.Now if it were the pilot version well then Im happy camper
