The car currently looks like this:
I know its not a pontiac but its as close as i could get.
I want to modify it with the following mods:
Proportional red Scanner
KNIGHT mini plate
Fog, brake, head lights & turnsignals.
currently 6V. upgraded to 18V with a turbo boost to make it 24V briefly.
Mini gullwing wheel
Black paint w/glossy finish.
Painted wheel caps- close enough to the bowling ball style right?
---wishful thinking---
Lots of switches
Voicebox
Working monitor hooked up to mini camera in rear end
I dont want to spend a fortune but i understand this will cost a little. Here is what i have in mind...
I bought this for a mini scanner:

It will have to be turned on manually up front as the switch is for the scanner settings is on the actual scanner. It is .5" x 4". I think a great size for a PW car.
I found a guy who can make a mini KNIGHT license plate just like KITT had.
The lights wont be a problem.
The voltage wont be a problem unless i run out of room under the body for batteries. Im trying to mod the car for top end speed on the road (dead end).
Gullwing- want as realistic as possible. Hate to spend a lot on one. Any ideas?
(Is this a mini gullwing?)
Paint- not a problem. 320 sandpaper- flat black Krylon with gloss topcoat applied. Same for the hubcaps.
I would like an actual turbo boost button but if i cant figure it out how about a Aviation safety toggle?

Want more pushbutton switches. (Need ideas for what they could do!) Where can i find inexpensive switches that look like KITT's? Here are some ideas- as close as i could get...

Voicebox- unless i could get one for less than $100, what could i do. Would be neat to have an LED panel and actual KITT recordings.
Monitor/ Camera - could use this:

$40 and a pinhole camera to show what behind him. ($46) Maybe i should nix this idea. But what KITT could be without it?
Thought about an red LED speedometer but where would i start? Even if it just showed random numbers...

Finally maybe a Keypad- ($4)

My son will be in heaven. Hoping to top out at 10mph+. (3.5 is stock speed.) Had a friend hit 13.8 on a mod today... Dont want to go to gas motor. 24v will fry the motors eventually- which is why i just want it for turbo boost.
Dont want to spend a fortune but i can handle up to $500 probably.
What ideas do you have? Am i nuts??? What do you think? Thanks!
By the way. The wife and i plan on taking our son to the show&shine Saturday at the Knight Nationals. (Cant afford the rest of the show!) He doesnt even have a clue...
