Well I've been thinking. My 2 year old son is obsessed with knight rider, he would rather watch that than his cartoons. Everytime he sees it he says, "dads car".I have been thinking of doing a kitt build up but I don't want it to be exact. I am thinking of ditching the ground effects on the t/a, adding a kitt nose and scanner but I still want the custom wheels, and maybe paint it Chrysler platnum or black, and doing the interior in all black with 4th gen seats. Maybe once I hit the lotto or have some extra cash I will do the dash too but for now it'll make him happy. I want to do a build that he loves like I wish I could have done with my dad but i want it to have the cool things like wheels, paint and interior. Most of you guys will probably flame but, I think my son would love it.

What do you guys think?

 

I think it is a really good idea, I think it would be better if you would wait a few years so he can help you and have a better memory of doing it.

 

Well right now it would just be the nose and scanner and if I did the dash, it would be when he's older and we could do all that together. I just think he would enjoy the scanner as he loves it in the show.

 

Father and son bonding is what it is all about my friend, I say do what you can while you can, and make sure you have the camcorder ready

 

You might want to think that he will move to another craze, probably before you managed to get the car done for this one. I have a few kids, and I'm so glad I didn't do any of my cars in Thomas the Tank Engine :-)

 

you wouldn't have to ditch the ground effects, I think some company is making KITT noses for ground effect cars. The KITT bumper has always been in the back of mind. The thing thats kind of bad is the fiberglass front bumper - and the picture in my mind if I hit a dip at a high speed by accident with that bumper. Check out Gambit69's car - awesome custom KITT.

 

Yeah his is kinda what I want to do. A kitt but different. It is an awesome car.

 

i say keep it the way it is...worse case people will think its just a half a$$ kitt car and you might not like it...your car looks pretty sweet how it is now and i would think most people admire and respect it...maybe change the paint on it but dont go for the kitt look

maybe im the only one but i think kitt was pretty ugly...maybe cool...but definately ugly

 

either do kitt the right way or nothing at all .

 

I loved knight rider as a kid, and still love it today almost bought the box set but for $40 decided to spend the money on the car instead
