Funny, I was just thinking THIS MORNING to make KITT from Knight Ryder. Now I just need a 1/10 scale David Hasselhoff.

Isn't David Hasselhoff already 1/10 scale?

You saying he's compensating?

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

You could have Knight Rider RC, that's better than a hot wheels

 

[Jerold]

I'm thinking I can do better than that!

 

[CertifiedMike]

You saying he's compensating?

Maybe, maybe not... but with a perm like that, who needs helmets??? Maybe those flashing red lights ARE just for show.

Or change the red scanner out for a yellow one

Its 2025 David! We have color changing LEDs for that now!

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

I'd say go Ready Player One style, but Ecto-88 was a DeLorean with KITTs lights and the Ghostbusters logo...
Damn, I'd love to build that. Lol

Or change the car altogether. Wait. What?

Yeah, my age/tastes change. I was never a HUGE fan of the pointy nose Trans Ams. I love Jerry Reed, but I shook my head in disgust when they tried to make a go at it with red shirted Cletus Snow (Snowman) driving that body style...

As soon as I seen the title of the thread, I knew the whole KITT thing was about to explode on here. In all fairness, the blue OP picture

is much better at capturing the lines of the body.

I'm mad at NBC that they cancelled KR 2008 only after 1 season. It was a good show imo. But after all the other people died and the ssc being no more I see why bc they had nothing else to write about

I didn't care much for how they looked but the 8 cyls drove well. Until the door hinges and t tops started to flop around.
I had an 85 Iroc with a 305 and breifly an 84 anniversary edition TA with the 350. They were both FAST! FUN!!!
Sold long before any issues happened.
Def NOT my fav body styles tho.
67,8,9 are my fav years. Then the early 70's split bumper camaro and the 455 Pontiacs KILL ME!!!
The rubber bumpers looked cool until you went over 50mph. The bumpers flexed and all the paint flung off like rustoleum on a lexan body!
I think gm worked out the paint flex issues before 82 model tho.

I'll just put these here for you @DavidB1126

Camaros don't count...they were way cooler than their Pontiac counterparts back in '82.

Ugh, I think an rc drift car KITT is in my future.... Y'all are a bad influence!
