Muy bueno mi amigo. Yo nunca he visto un "KARR" tan agradable. La buena suerte con el resto del automóvil.

Translation: Very nice my friend. I've never seen such a nice KARR. Good luck with the rest of the car.

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!! :shock: :shock:

Mucho Fantastico! :)

That is the most awesome KARR replica I've seen yet. Nice job! I love KARR and am glad to see someone working on one. I like KITT a lot too but not many work on KARR.

You and your friends done a great job on this!

Esplendido!

(I can't figure out how to get the upside-down exclaimation mark)

Lovely work, also incredible that you completed it in such a short time.

Some fine work there! It's refreshing to see another two-tone conversion as opposed to the all-too-common basic black all the time.

Thank you for your commentaries, the truth that influenced very much the search of the exclusivity and " to be different "
And its true... KARR IS ANOTHER WORLD, IS IN ANOTHER LEVEL, and I enjoy it in a different way BUT I LIKE IT. :twisted:

The sensations are different. In spain are a lot of kitts at now... 10 -12... Karr ONLY ONE... :P

its really impressive make my wish of child.

Your words are very encouraging to continue the project, since not wise as reactionary the " international community " of Knight rider seeing my Karr.

:D :D :D :D :D

AMAZING KARR man! I too am another one of us KARR nuts :D The only thing you need now are nose cone blackouts to make it a season 2 nosecone ;) I've not seen one single KARR replica with nosecone blackouts yet. Any shots of the rear of the KARR? :)

Certainly!

A time was looking for a front nose of Second season, but there was not thinking an original, like that model that I used a four season molded from the original one to be fidelity to the series.

I am working to have something this way in a time... Since I do Karr, we are OK to doing it.

THE PHOTO

Since I was putting to do it, since a bit of aggressiveness...

In the wheels:

Wow awesome job! It looks like you and your friends are very skilled. That's one beautiful car. I really wish I would see some replicas driving around where I live. Keep us informed on any extras you do to the car. The front end that was installed looks amazing!
Booonnnnnzzzzaaaaaiii!!!!!!!! As michael turbo boosts to score the extra point. His face is so funny when he yells this and when he hits turbo boost his eyes get huge and he flies back into the seat

The Knight Passions nose is definitely the way to go. It's the only truly accurate seasons 1-3 nose there is out there, as far as I know. It only needs modifications for the turn signal blackouts for a season 1-2 look, but the two-tone K.A.R.R. is from Season 3, so the nose is perfect as is.

Your only problem may be matching the paint, as a new nose might be a slightly different shade than the rest of the car due to weathering.

Some curiosity more...

All the pieces are original of models of Firebird Trans am 82-84, The wheels are a 235/60 ahead and 255/60 behind. The rims were cleaned by sand and the exterior edge was polished leaving a bright of mirror them, and there were repaired scratches that had doing this process

Taking advantage of the placement of the Talilights of 82 - 84 and the fog lights, the whole cable of the lighting was changed.

The engine is dying little by little, the engine that yet goes is wounded by death, since it consumes 3 liters of oil every 1000-1200 Km, and already I have a new 305 prepared to put him in a few months.

The scanner is a prototype of a friend, also with I give the orders distantly and several effects and the tail-light blackout is home made.

The choice of the color was very difficult, it did not want that it was a very clear silver...
It is GM's tonality that I liked for his changes, on having changed the light that receives.
For example: If the light him affects directly, the grey is silvered, nevertheless, in occasions of few light it gets dark making it a bit elegant and less showy.

Brilliant, always, it has 6 caps of painting 4 of black (also GM) and 2 of grey painted on the black, in addition applied 4 caps of glaze to it or sheen to give it the point of bright that has KITT (in this case KARR)

KARR still had his season 1 nose cone in KITT vs KARR ;) He didn't have the time to get a season 3 overhead consol and a season 3 nosecone while he was burried under the sand :lol:
