@andy-kitt

Next Time i PLan to make Hubcaps new, but thats very hard work, you must look about the wheels i downt know where i make it, must see. Then the Next is the Taillight, must make Clear and done a new Paintjob, then i juse one of the Dashobards from the Modelkit do make it inside. At Last the frontnose. The KITt Frontnose on that Model is a problem, if you Look on the Front youll see that you can not mak a accurate Scaner inside. I think the best for that car is when you make the Nose if Ertl had to try it with the Other Nose. Had you ever made a Model with that Nose :-) You are very nice man, you know me by the way from an Ebay Auktion, do you remember?

Yeap, this Time i Did it, Tommorow i clean it a little Bit, looks very cool, but remeber i am a Rokie :oops: . But i think for the First work its good, its with the alternative nose, and has a clear taillight. The Scanner is make with Glitter Glue.

Yeah!!!.real luckt that "newbright" trans am,= was very rare back in the 80's I had 3 of them and the very first one was a open targa top and I remember I would put in kitts a=dash and hack up a kr nose to fit proper and then we would race them!...then the next model had non-functional headlight and the the remote version came out and those car only had run from 1984 to 1988 and then they totally disapeared!....the last one I had was the targa top model with headlights and it was modded witha dash,overhead,lower console,remodded nose and I used a 1/4 th of Han Solo action figure for Michael knight!....but now its gone and somewere out there inthe world!

Nice modification :)
I too have 3rd gen Trans-Am remote controlled plastic toycar from the 80's that have opening headlights, I don't remember if they were even lighted because the car doesn't operate anymore. I still have it and I'll keep it as it is:
