Simply amazing. I grew up on that show and always fantasized about having an 82 Trans Am. When I was 16 I found the closest thing I could find, which was an 83 Trans Am which was more similar to your wife’s car but it was close enough for me. Black and Tan, t-tops, v-8, and in great condition. I’m 40 now and think about that car nearly every day. Thank you for the video.

WOW ! I wished and dreamed and there you actually went and did it ! Well done sir and you have won the prize of dreams from your hard work... Thank you for sharing!

Really enjoyed this. Great piece of nostalgia. Obviously a labour of love.

Without a doubt I can say that this replica absolutely deserves an applause. I actually got nowhere near this level of detail the first time I made a replica as an over enthusiastic college student. When I sold it I absolutely told myself the next car I got I would get and keep. Recently, I found a 1982 Trans AM just sitting on the side of the road for sale and bought it! With 89k miles no less. I’d love your notes, design ideas or just anything you find helpful to someone who wants to be just as passionate about the build as you. I’d love to get in touch.

YOU ROCK!!! I'm 47 years old and I grew up watching Knight Rider every Friday night! The Knight Industry Two Thousand is timeless!!! You nailed it! The detail is amazing, all the way down to the com-link watch!

Absolutely great work! I loved that show as a kid and KITT has remained one of my all time favorite car. Very nice to all this :)

What a fantastic car! All your hard work and attention to detail sure has paid off.... absolutely stunning!

Wow!!!...simply WOW!!!....awesome build...thanks for sharing!!!

I knew it! I always thought that a lot of replicas' noses are too long. Thanks to your work this nose is just perfect!

As a TransAm lover & Knight rider fan I think you did a terrific work of art with this vehicle, congratulations!! I would love to see it in person some day 😍👍👍👍👍👍

There's no better feeling than when you get to the point of using the buffer after all of the work is done. Congrats on the trophy. Wish I could've got down to the car show to see it up close. Looks great!

I have to say pure perfection on KITT, I grew up loving this car. Great fab work!!

Next step now...super pursuit mode upgrade 🤣 Great job sir 👍👊💪

Wow best one I've witnessed so far..... good job! almost too good!

That sir is a work of art and a thing of beauty. Just stunning.

Hello from Panama City, FL... You, sir, have accomplished one of my childhood dreams. KITT was my favorite character in the show. I'm happy you made this video since it may be the closest I ever get to it. I love it. Absolutely gorgeous attention to detail. Congrats to you both on first place!

I love this car so much! Aw the good old days. And the thing is this car fits today's time because it was way ahead of its time back then.

The front custom grills over the driving lights look much better than the original. Actually the whole car looks better than the original!

If you brought your car to Pawn Stars, Rick would say, "I've got a buddy. Let me call him up and see what he has to say and maybe we can make a deal." Afterwards, he makes an offer of $8,000 saying ultimately it's a 1984 Trans Am and people won't care about the customization. ROFL 😂😈😠😢

I love the passion put into this project. Awesome

Great job . Dedication , and all the hard work paid off .

Now, you have to pass the "acid test!" You have to get *Miss Patrica MacPhearson, or Miss Rebecca Holden,* to *'inspect'* the completed product.

Also combine it with self driving technology. We can pretty much re-create a real Knight Rider experience.

If only I had the money to afford this. I'm born in 1997 so it's safe to say that KITT was not part of my life when it originally appeared for the first time. But it's the most beatiful car ever created. Also the show is one of the absolute best shows ever! Excellent job, sir. Simply amazing. The closest I got to KITT was at a local car show (in my country - Bulgaria) back in 2015 or so. But that KITT was done only on the exterior part and it had dents and so on on the hood. Still that's my favourite car show and picture that I've ever taken. If I win the lottery (I first have to start buying tickets haha) I'd so get myself a KITT for 50k$. :)
