Hello.... Just wanted to share some extra cool news with you all. As you all know, if you know me personally, I've been on a search for an original 1st to 3rd season nose. Well, I'm done looking. With the help from making contact with a few people at last years Vegas show, and being very consistent with this one person, they finally allowed me a chance to mold an original!!!! They told me " One bad thing, it has NO bottom" and " It needs to be restored" Well , as you all know, I took them up on the offer. Without talking ya to death , I'll just show ya some pics, first , the bottom....UGH!
I think the bottom might have been hit or something... Weird, but maybe a stunt car, nothing was on the inside either. Then , I didn't want to take away from the original, but man, this thing was caked with bondo and paint. So I went ahead and got the middle braced up and back with the hood,straightened some lines back out (not trying to mess it up .....blah, blah, blah.... etc,etc, etc.....Basically restored it. So , here it is in primer
Well, That was it.... but then I added the Blk paint and bam!!! there KITT WAS!!! YES!
Just want to add one thing, after all of the work on it, there is a catch....This contact from Vegas wanted it molded, and I said , sure is a shame that nobody in the KR community couldn't get one.....Well , as luck presented itself, they are allowing it to be molded....... Ken, from Wraith Innovations will be molding it in the next few months...So , keep your eyes open !
P.S. couple more pics....just excited!
Hope ya enjoyed!
