Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Hey guys- I've been out of the loop for a while. I just moved to Las Vegas a few months ago and just got back on track. Big news- I just installed my Carbon fiber KR hood!! Big question- I'm ready to install my scanner, and I'm curious, where I can cut the underside to get it in without causing structural damage, and how do you mount the lexan lens?

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I have a clear 3M bra on the car ( to protect it from chips ) it wraps around the fenders
hte masking tape is to protect the paint from placing the hood on the car.
Joshua I just received Teds dash so I wont have to cut up mine, your orb will be next my friend!

Bullitt- Dude!! That looks awesome!! I've always loved the Highland Green Bullitt Mustang, but it looks even better with the Alcoas (I envy that, I can't find them.) I can't wait to see the hood painted.

Finally stopped to get a picture of my progress. New hood, test fitting the scanner. Now, I need wheels, rear bumper and (maybe) a paintjob and spoiler.

where did you get your scanner from?
Also where did you get the front shelby fascia?

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Thanks guys!
The scanner came from a guy named 1999transamws6 on youtube. The fascia came from Parts.com, their prices were pretty good. Right now, the biggest headache is my scanner lenses. I made 2 (out of 5 attempts) that fit properly, but screwed them up when I painted them with lens tint. So now begins the hunt for smoked plexiglass.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Does this 1999transamws6 sell more scanners? And are the shelby parts cheaper on parts.com then champion mustang? Nice work dude.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
You'd have to contact him to see if he still makes them. He told me mine was probably one of his last a year ago, but things can change. as for the fascia, it seemed cheaper to me (~$1200) but I had the freedom to leave some things out like the fog lights, splitter, and the upper radiator shield since it wasn't a "kit". So now, I can save for a carbon fiber splitter if I want, and the radiator shield wouldn't have worked with my air intake anyway.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I went with a light smoke gray lense. Did you get the Trufiber hood? I have the templates for the lense.lphill01 wrote:Thanks guys!

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Thanks, but I found some smoked plexi and made new lenses today. They're in, but they're probably not as secure as I'd like. How did you secure them?

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Here's how it came out. I like the smoked. It dimmed it down a little too much, but it's not a crazy attention getter.
Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
if I were you, I'd sanded a little bit the back of the lense to give it a more diffused look

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I actually did. I don't know why, but it looks like you can see the rows of LEDs. You can't in person. I hit it with 220 grit, 320 grit, and took a shot at it with my Mouse sander. I just didn't use my Dremel like I did on the clear lenses because it left marks all over that lit up.
Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Do you have a video of your car with the working scanner?
