Anyone ever notice...?
I must be getting old because I'm starting to forget what was the purpose of the green buttons on the side of kitt's gullwing steering wheel.Anyone know the reason they were there for?
I seem to recall something about Mark's Custom Kitt's buying one of the remaining screen used Kitt's and he might have mentioned they activated the scanner on the season 3/4 model,not sure if i'm remembering it right but if anyone knows please share.

I've seen that before but I have no idea what it does. Activating the scanner could be right.

Re: Anyone ever notice...?
That's something that is never really explained throughout season 3 and 4. I really loved the look of it, personally. There are a couple screen shots out there where you can see the black cap opened. Nothing really under there but a push button, I believe.
I added that gullwing to my Kitt:

It appears that in this version of the steering wheel, the green button moved. It would be under Michael's right thumb instead of outside of the left side of the wheel as it appears in the first pictures. You guys must have eagle eyes. I've been watching the show since it began in 1982 and I have never noticed that button.Knight Racer wrote:Wow that dash looks amazing.Wonder what it looks like all lit up.

Re: Anyone ever notice...?
Funny yopu should mention my eagle eyes.Yesterday I was watching Custom Kittand believe it on not the original broadcast of that episode had more to show than the dvd versions we had.We all know that dvd's are famous for showing more on the left and right sides of a vhs copy but I saw what could only have been a camera mount on Michael's door on kitt.I tried finding it on the dvd but it was shown closer up hiding the mount entirely.

Re: Anyone ever notice...?
Thanks for the kind words guys. It truly was a labour of love. Just a few more pieces to add and it will be pretty well completed.
I actually didn't install the SPM panel anywhere. I just use it as a display piece with the car, along with the Auto Window panel, the Oxygen vent, and the Chemical Analyzer.

Re: Anyone ever notice...?
It was said in reviews that the DVD's are cropped but the one advantage I find of cropping is that they hide a lot of the mistakes. In Slammin Sammy's....you could always see Michael holding a round steering wheel, but on the DVD's you can't see this.
I guess for purists (and I am one depending on what it is), this is not a good thing but, whatever.
