The new K.I.T.T. coming along

[Blackdragon]

I really just started working on this in the last few days so I put these pictures up to see what the thought is so far. My first attempt at using putty on a car that will actually be moving. The planned motor is an audely 85000 rpm motor with stacked fets so my board does not fry. Looks messy as hell right now but in a week or so it should be done. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/BLACKDRAGON7570/xmods044.jpg

adding on to syndycate's comment, the 2nd wing is a lil to high and the hood and side scoops are too big compaired to the body, but overall good start :)

[Stampedekid]

Nice project! But unlike the real K.I.T.T., the rear spoiler is too high.

[fordman239]

lookin good so far. i really love how u r putting in the gt500 kr accents.

[Lowrideit]

Wow 85k?
Thats alot, I hope your buying atleast Gpm knuckles, Dog bones and Axle stubs,
Atleast.

[xmodificationer]

Haha that 85k rpm audley is worthless. Its a POS thats not going to make this car faster than a S2. Man up and get a Chili with a Spider;)

[SYNDYCATE]

what KITT is it going to be....the top of the line one:-?

[Blackdragon]

It will be the attack or hero mode whatever one it's called and I have not nailed anything down on the car so I still have room for more adjustments and the sanding just began so I will be bringing the sizes down to look more realistic and as for the motor I'm putting it in because I have nothing else to do with it. This car is mainly for show, I have no plans on racing it as with most of my collection. So as far as manning up goes build YOURS the way you want to and I will build MINE the way I want to. But thanks for all the input from everyone so far.

[SYNDYCATE]

lol ya your kinda right:roll: but there just our opinions:D

[texan_idiot25]

Nice start so far. What are you doing with the lower grille though? Filling it in?

But, you gotta do lights! :p

[Blackdragon]

I do plan on putting in fog lights and head lights and tail lights and the lights in the hood. I still have a ways to go but I will get there. Thanks for the input and keep it coming.

[SYNDYCATE]

Texan that one looks kinda Riced out lol:lol:

[Surgeon]

Texan that one looks kinda Riced out lol:lol:

That is the new KITT that the xmod is based off of... I don't much care for the design myself, but to make an imitation it should look like that one.

[ling427ttvette]

I refuse to even watch the new Knight Rider..

[SYNDYCATE]

Rice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xmodificationer]

Rice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways its going very nice. I think this should turn out well!

[ling427ttvette]

SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, he's right. That's rice as all get out. Two spoilers, one stacked onto another? Come on..

[Surgeon]

Hey guys, keep it on topic. Talk about the xmod and how close it is to the original not whether or not the pursuit mode is Rice.

[Stampedekid]

Well, I forgot to mention this, I say lower the hood a bit. Any more updates?

[4G63punk]

I think your hood scoop is too big. You might want to make it smaller.

[Patrol]

As you can see, in this image

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/BLACKDRAGON7570/xmods040.jpg


The roof scoop is narrow and tall.

Whereas in this pic

http://www.onlinemarketingblog.co.uk/knightrider.jpg

the scoop is low and wide


Also, this link is how to build the scanner, I skimmed through, and it seems like you could make it smaller for use in a Xmod...

[firebird]

it looks really cool . what is the green stuff on the car?

[youngxmodder]

nice but the hood is a little to tall i made one and it turned out pretty good

[Kaze]

It's looking good so far, remember to be patient with the sanding, otherwise you'll mess up a detail and start all over again. Post updates soon, and good luck.

BTW, I like the Mace Windu Lightsaber in the BG ^_^ lol

[Blackdragon]

Well the green stuff is a type of putty I am using and Kaze your right, the sanding is a pain in the neck and when I feel myself getting impatient I put it down and work on one of the other ones or just leave it for a day or two till' I get bored enough to go back to it. I will have more updates this week and the new chassis should be here so I can start work on that and see what I can come up with on that, I just plan on screwing around with it for a while but the start is the audley and then I will go from there. And Kaze you missed seeing the other lightsabers just above the Mace Windu one.

OH crap, which one? lol nice collection there.

Yea no kidding, oh also remember you should add some putty, only slightly more than what you need (not too much like you seem to have there). Then sand it down a bit, if it doesn't seem to be enough add a little more. Trust me, it's the best advice I read while working on my Z convertible, and its deffinately worthwhile. Good luck once again and can't wait to see those updates.

[Blackdragon]

The latest updates for the project: still have to put the remaining spoilers and spoilers on but here is where I am at so far. Be advised that I am still working on it so it still looks a hot mess^_^ http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/BLACKDRAGON7570/xmods049.jpg

[WRXSTi92]

thast sick how'd you get the leds like that

[Blackdragon]

I used 2 sets of the command light sets since I needed headlights and fog lights and two sets of red for the scanner and rear lights. As for putting them in I pre-drilled the hood and set up a few small pieces on the hood for the shape of the scoop which is why it sits a little higher than it really should but I wanted the light to show throught the hood vents and not the bottom of the car. I will post more pics as I get closer to finishing it. It got on my nerves today so back to the table with the rest until I am ready to go to work on it again.

[tripnips]

**** dude this looks friggin amazing!!!
and who the hell cares if its not exactly like the actual kitt its close enough and plus i could understand not getting it exact because it would drive me nuts!!!
and the led scanners look cool as hell too
GREAT JOB!!!

[black_g35]

WOW this is awesome i wish i had a fast fowred button so i could see what it looks like lol i really want to see this GREAT JOB SO FAR

[Blackdragon]

Thanks for the comments and actually I can't wait to see how it comes out either. I wanted to start painting last night but impatience will cause me to mess up so I am going to take my time and get it right.

It has a all black chassis, fog lamps, hood lights, and a upgraded motor with the tlp turbo. As soon as I get done with everything else I may go back to this one. Just having had my son born ate up a lot of time so I was off the site for a while. Look for my next thread and I will show you what the other project was. The car still needs work but it is the first time I have touched it in almost 3 months.

[HUMMER H4]

Nice anyways no spoiler would be awsome also.........

[taiwanesekid05]

The spoiler's on because KITT had it. Keepin it real. istic.

[amorton94]

sweet, thats nice

[xmoracer0]

nice bro but i think that the wing is to big other wise it should look good

[KITT222]

i love it, i love it, i want it!!! now all you need to do is the lights maybe. just take make/take two KITT(Knight 3000) flashing lights, and place them under the hood.

[Blackdragon]

The lights are already in the hood, just look at the previous pictures above the new ones. Don't really have time to finish it the way I want to right now but will finish before the year is out(hopefully).

[stangdude94]

not bad at all man looks good

[spitfire]

i think the wing fits the scale perfect, theres no way its to big.
