Posted November 17, 201410 yr Hello! I stumbled on the old Knight Rider series on the other day. There I saw the Michael Long's Recaro Trans Am in the pilot episode and I thought I havent built any US cars a while and I said to myself that I'll have a go. So I started the model about three days ago from now (17.11.2014).Its still rough around the edges but Im trying to make it more realistic as I build it. There will be fake V8 engine under the bonnet and also I might add the suspension to it, if I wont crash it or anything.The model already has pop up headlights, openable rear hatch and removable roof panels. Thats all for now, but I keep you informed about the progress If someone is interested. As there still appears to be the problem with uploading pictures directly, I'll have them with links: http://www.upload.ee...365261/Ttop.jpg http://www.upload.ee...65259/Ttop1.jpg http://www.upload.ee...65262/Ttop2.jpg http://www.upload.ee...65266/Ttop3.jpg http://www.upload.ee...65267/Ttop4.jpg The rear lights appear as they would really glow http://www.upload.ee...5271/lights.jpg
November 18, 201410 yr I love this "Old style" way to build cars. It reminds me of when I was a child! The car it's looking great, are you planning to build interiors? I think it deserve suspensions and steering aswell! :thumbup:
November 18, 201410 yr Nice I have build (for 14 years) a Opel Kadett Rieger GTO in the same building Style
November 18, 201410 yr Author Thanks for the feedback! I love this "Old style" way to build cars. It reminds me of when I was a child! The car it's looking great, are you planning to build interiors? I think it deserve suspensions and steering aswell! :thumbup: I just finished the seats and adjusted the boot hatch.Now Im going to focus on the running gear and suspension.Possibly gonna add the working steering wheel too, but this means that I have to rebuild the dash and front axle (which will be rebuilt anyways). Nice I have build (for 14 years) a Opel Kadett Rieger GTO in the same building Style Looks really neat and full of nice details! Great work, Keep it up!

November 22, 201410 yr Author Today was successful day! I completed installing the RC motors and lights to my Trans Am. I also converted the front end into K2000 front nose. I am thinking of turning the dash into Kitt dash aswell.

November 23, 201410 yr Author Nice build Richter! Richter: do you call Knight Rider Ritariässä also in Estonia? (I'm from Finland) "Tervetuloa forumille!" :) Kiitos! Me virossa käytämme alguperästa nimeni Knight Rider mutta minun vanhempani käytävat sana "Ritari ässä" ja tämän jälkeen laitoin sen nimissä:D Edited November 23, 201410 yr by Richter
