Welcome to the Knight Rider Online forum.Are you going to be doing an interior conversion as well? How many miles and how much did you pay for the car if you don't my asking?

I bought the car for only $500 in '07, Clean title and perfectly straight body, with only 85K miles. It had sat behind a barn for over 10 years and was saved from going to the scrapper. The 305 was tired so I recently swapped in a fresh rebuilt 350 TPI with only 5k miles from a wrecked 88 Formula, and rebuilt the 700r4 and posi rear end. Also I have been aquiring all the neccessary 15" wheels, caps, scanner, hood and rear hatch over the last couple of years because my intention since day one was to do a conversion.
As far as the interior I have a complete 82 tan interior with PMD's ready to go in, and hopefully if i have any money left after paint then soon I will look in to a dash and electronics.

I sure am having the most fun with this car getting it to where i want it I hope to see you all in May I just got my tickets for Vegas!
