This is a 1982 Pontiac Firebird S/E model that I
spent two solid years redone as Kitt from Knight Rider. It is a little hard to let him go. He is not very happy
about it but it was a project that I wanted to see if I was capable of doing. I don't consider myself a mechanic
but I do consider myself good with electrical work.I spent two years doing this at home. This car
is not a perfect replica by no means but it is a nice one. If you check out all the photos you will see that it
still looks pretty amazing. It isn't like you can just go to the store and go home and build this. Most of the
materials and items in this car were bought on here and elsewhere from Italy and Canada. There must be over 200
wires that connect this and that together. I have rocker switches that can turn on everything from the little tv
sets to dimming the lights in the dash. This car has a Nintendo System with Knight Rider the video game. With a
flip of the switch the tv comes on and the game Knight Rider plays. The car looks and feels like a space ship and
driving it is very fun. I spent a little too much time with wiring. Quick Disconnects on almost everything.
Under the fiberglass dash is the original gauges which still work. The odometer and all. The digital dash has
real working components such as gas gauge that works and much else. The tachometer is perfect. The only problem I
have found is with the speedometer. It isn't perfect. It gives you a general idea what speed your going but it
still needs adjustment. It doesn't register the speed until you get around 30 mph. Every other electrical
component works flawlessly. Lights, dash, center console, I have wired this car in so many ways to work. It was a
job. The steering wheel is truly fun! It is so easy to drive the car with. I can imagine someone is going to ask
me why I did not have the pods behind the steering wheel and it is because I wanted this car to be able to maintain
an ability to use a circular steering wheel in case you needed to have one. Turbo boost button has been screwed
onto dash and beeps when pressed. Has an antennae for the right side lcd tv that can pick up tv stations. The
left lcd tv has nintendo. The dummy gauges that kitt on the show had scan back and forth. It is a fun car. THIS
CAR WOULD BE GREAT AS A SHOW CAR! Yet it can be driven on the street
