All I can say is have fun making the stock hood even longer than it already is. The promo hood went right down to the front of the nose and scanner. The nose mod's themselves will be easy, the rest I draed to think about.

The Model is almost done. I had computer problems and lost all my updating material for my site. My site is being redone currently anyways and the new photo's will be added when ready. I just have to paint, wet sand and touch up the body, then it can be assembled. Electronics are finished for the most part. Just finishing the scanner for it. Everything should be nice and bright too. Running a 12 volt system in it. Same as a real car. Gonna look awesome when done.
Also working on an 1/8th scale semi for it too. I know... Its gonna be big. Right around 8 feet long, give or take an inch or two. The trailer is running about 5 feet now. I have been looking for decent pictures of the semi (see other thread here) to make it as accurate as possible. Will make a nice display/coffee table. LOL........
As far as your promo car goes, good luck. I make the pilot overhead if your interested in it. See my site for pictures.....

Hey! I didn't realise it was your site, KITTfan! Those pics are bloody brilliant! Did you get my email? It basically told you what you probably already know. You the man! Now...... tell me precisely how you do it...

I drew this, but ----->

Awesome. I've been dying to see a head on pic of the proto-Kitt. To be honest I wanna say I like it more than the real Kitt. That nose seems to flow better with the rest of the car. I can't wait to see your replica
*Looks at Firebird wondering how the 92 style front end would look with the extended hood and scanner*
KITT project is on again!
Currently working on: brand new stock tan interior, almost done!

I use Ulead Photoimpact for editing and drawing pictures and the "animation" in my frontpage is made with EasyGIF Animator.
Knightreplicas photogallery has great photos as a referencematerial, I try to look details from the episodes too.
I also want to thank Knight Passions and KRMultimedia for giving me permission to use their pictures.

PS: really great looking pics, I like especially

Ahhh...you're talking about my mate Johnny. Yeah, we ALL saw the krmultimedia title in those pics. He's just taken them and modded them. And that's OK.

Well, yes. Some of us also know Johhny. But the source pictures have to come from somewhere.
