Re: POST YOUR BLACK 3RD GENS
It's a 2nd Season style two tv dash. I'm still a KITT fan, but not as huge as I used to be. I've sort of slowly lost interest in it over the last few years. It's a tough car to build with the limited suppliers and LONG wait times. You kind of get tired of waiting. Thankfully, I approached my car with that attitude that whatever I install will not hurt my Trans Am should I decide to make it black and gold stock again. Everything can be undone by simply unbolting and unscrewing from factory locations. I'm still debating it, but I can't get enough of the reactions of people in my town when I do get it out on the road and the local cruise-ins. It appeals to so many in a positive way, so I guess that's a good thing.

Re: POST YOUR BLACK 3RD GENS
This is mine, 87 formula 350 with 521cuin BBF and 2004R trans, ford 8.8. Its getting full coil over suspension, moly K-member and full GFX from a 88TA and 92 camaro.
How it used to be before it got stolen and gutted.

Now… before the GFX and coil overs etc and going with a dark charcoal metallic color theme.

Re: POST YOUR BLACK 3RD GENS
275/35R17 on a 17x9 ford bolt pattern anthracite FR500 rim. Rears are 315/35R17 on a 17x10.5 ford bolt pattern anthracite FR500 rim. Fronts were 1.5" adapters spacers in the pic, now I got 1" adapters to replace them to tuck them in alittle more. So they will tuck in 1/2" more than in the pic and should line up with the rear perfectly.

Re: POST YOUR BLACK 3RD GENS
There's a black 85 305 TPI/auto with T-tops back there someplace. I just put it there a few weeks ago & I'm pretty sure I left my trailer out in front of it!
