The present count of models are {23} (right now)...and [2] kenner kitts (built) and the donor car will get revamped into two tone black/silver KARR!....the dash will be slightly altered ,but the original graphics will remain but a voice mod & count down will be added and the rear winddow will be tinted black and I want to make passenger windows too!....I also got [3] diecast kitts and I still need to get a diecast KARR!....and I got (6) hotwheels (3) kitts &(3) karrs and (3) R/C knight industries remote control cars in 1/12 scale size!....and my full size active conversion!
and as far as the camera goes????.....I still have to save for a new one ,but all these marvelous toys just keep popping up!.....I still want to build a Super pursuit mode Kenner kitt some time in the near future!

You definitely need a new digital camera...those pics don't do your conversions justice!
Anyway, good job! Good luck with the upcoming SPM conversion, we'll all be waiting for it hopefully with better pics (even my phone camera produces better results

).

Excellent work as always, my friend
I gotta see if my little brother still has my Kenner car. I plan on remodeling my garage this summer and it would look nice displayed out there.

Awesome job. I'm actually the most impressed with how accurate you made the seasons 3/4 dashboard. Can't wait for the Super Pursuit Mode K.I.T.T., too. I always wished they had a Voice Car version of it when I was a kid. A few years ago I wanted to make a K.A.R.R. replica out of the Voice Car but I never got around to it. As for the camera... can't you just borrow someone else's?

SPM sounds like a real challenge, but looking at your efforts on the convertible you seam more than capable. Look forward to seeing it, keep us up-to-date with your progress.

A voice car can be done with smaller chips and the trunk space has an awful lot ot room to do so!....I hope to build one soon with the KARR project since the vox unit was thrashed ,I can install up to 3 or 4 chips!
...and as far as barrowing some one else's camera?....none of my friends or family owns one ,they're all stuck in 1979 and still use polaroid!
so all I got is my LG vx6000 camera phone and my flat photo and the flat produces better pics ,but it only works outdoors under real sunlight!....it does not work under simulated light or gloomy days!

.....and my job only gives a 10% discount on digital cameras which is really nothing!!!!
And as for the SPM kitt?....its gonna be a short while ,I was debating on weather or not to build on a R/C body ,but the nose would be subject to getting smashed and all ,so the kenner body is more accurate and likely to get damaged!
