My First K.I.T.T. Painting

 

I've never tried to paint a picture of a car before, but being that my K.I.T.T. is not only the first car I have ever owned it seemed a fitting inspiration to do a first attempt. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, I especially like the way the front nose turned out. I had good reference pictures to work from that I had taken over the summer out at one of my favorite spots here in Winnipeg called 'Airforce Way' out by the C.F.B. Base close to the Airport.

This 31 1/2" X 24" inch canvas was done in acrylics. I'm happy enough with it that I may do another one in the future.

KITT Muffler Replacement

Well, it took a while but I got the mufflers replaced in K.I.T.T. Had some minor but time consuming snags but got it done. Next time. Muffler shop for sure ;) #KITT #K.I.T.T.T. #MufflersReplacement #DualMufflersReplacement #DualMufflers #DualMufflersSystem #DualMufflersExhaust #DualMufflersExhaustSystem

2nd Short Drive With K I T T


Today was a nice quiet Saturday so I figured it would be safe enough to take K.I.T.T. out for a short drive down my back lane to test out a few things. No. 1 - My steering wheel is definitely not on straight so neither will K.I.T.T.s Gullwing be, so I'll need to adjust that somehow ? No. 2 - The Speedometer is not working also, My dash electronics are from Knight Rider World and the speed sending unit is a Cyberdyne unit attached to my Cruise Control Transducer.... so no idea what is going on there. No. 3 - I had this issue getting the microphone to work last year but got it going so I'll need to do whatever it was last year. Heck if I can remember. No. 4 - The Arduino is an issue I still need to try and figure out otherwise K.I.T.T. is just going to work in Lab Mode which is .... eh.... OK but not stellar.... you've all seen what he's capable of when things are all working as they are supposed too. Other than that.... it's nice to see K.I.T.T. finally able to drive... but many of those issues do need to addressed or K.I.T.T. will fail his safety inspection when I book the appointment with T-Mac Auto Services. #KITT #K.I.T.T. #KnightRidder #KnightRiderReplica #KnightIndustries2000

K.I.T.T.s Dash rewiring


In the process of rewiring some of K.I.T.T.s dash. Managed to identify the problem with his switch pods, seems they were not getting ground. 3 years of covid lockdowns and a torn apart engine REALLY put the kibosh on my train of thought so I must have bi passed the grounds accidentally at some point meaning to reconnect but over the long period of inactivity simply forgot what I was doing is my guess.... So, rewire, shorten long lengths of wire and remove any redundant unused wires because that will just over complicate things in the long run. #KITT #KnightRider #KnightRiderDash #KnightRiderReplicas #KnightRiderGuy
