The KNIGHT plate has arrived, which i intend to only use as an ornament for now, but at least i have it. Its not going to be the legal plate i use obviously, i need to wait for the DMV to send me KNIGHTE for that. It's an extremely accurate replica with everything embossed. I ordered it from bigkidkate on ebay for $17 shipped :-)
The smog parts are still being attached to the car and i honestly have no idea what its going to cost or if Jimmy is even going to be able to complete all of the work. In an ideal world he does it, and then i get it smogged and registered in Silverlake that day, but that is going to be highly unlikely. I'm thinking of getting it done via AAA, which i'm going to need to sign up for if i'm driving a 30 year old car around.
I also got in contact with Jay Ohrberg in La Quinta, CA. Jay worked on the Knight Kider series and actually built the Super Pursuit Mode version of KITT for Season 4, as-well as appearing in 4 episodes. This guy really knows how to build cars, and has put together a ton of other movie cars, including the Bat-mobile for Batman Returns.
I've already ordered 2 sets of Bowling Ball hubcaps and a nose.
Check out the SPM KITT chronology - pretty bad-ass.
