Mexican KITT!!!

Post by Dark Side » Wed Aug 02, 2006 3:17 am

Hi friends, my name is Zoltan Braun im 20 Y.O. from Jalisco Mexico.

im a member of a F-body club in mexico (http://www.camaro-transam.com)

i have a 1989 black firebird with t-tops
V6 2.8L
265/60-R15 Front 295/60R15 Rear
Automatic transmission

i was looking for the parts to make a conversion to KITT but i cant find it in mexico and are very expensive, then i make the conversion myself! everything from the front bumper to the scanner.

then i remove the front turn singals and replace it for halogen lights connected to the headlights.

then i put a wheels from a chevy s10 truck and paint it with dark metallic graphite color.

here is the pics, im glad to hear your comments of my KITT

I think its awesome when people take the initiative and create their own parts. that makes each replica unique

Wow! That's brilliant!

Did you modify the factory front bumper or did you make it?

How did you finish off the opening for the scanner and make it look so neat?

Well done!

Yo! Im Paco, My bud Zoltan really did a great job, and I gotta say, he did it all by himself. Even I wasnt sure about it when he told me about the mod he was planning, but when I saw it finished I agreed that the car looked great.

The scanner works great, the fading effect looks incredible in the dark, maybe he only needs to replace the red plastic with a darker one or maybe add some polaroid film to make it look a bit darker.

I aslo agree that the S10 wheels looks great, with those 295 tires on the back.... it looks so bad ass on the street!!

This dude is great, he´s 20 and he´s doing really good, im wondering how his cars are going to look when he turn 30.

Cya guys! You also have incredible rides on this forum!

I'm trying to make my own LHD dash, and it's not an easy job to undertake :(

Don't even know what it'll come out like. Probably end up in the bin.
