    I have to admire your self control. I would not be able to resist stripping off all of those layers of old paint, down to bare metal and starting over - assuming that I had any of those skills, which I don't. You have the patience and devotion of Indiana Jones.

    Knight Rider was one of my favorite tv shows back in the 80's. I'd love to see the completed semi in a finished reveal video. Thanks for going the extra mile and taking the time to find, document, and restore these pieces of television history! I'll be ordering some of your merchandise to support the channel in the near future as well.

    The kids are great! I've had to evict mice from cars before...not fun, totally gross, so I feel your pain. You can always carefully cut an access hole into the evap housing to check for more and then glue it back in. I like to follow up with spraying bleach water in all the ducts when done. Great reunion man. Great work too. Would love to help with those electrical issues. I'm an auto electrician who was inspired by Knight Rider.

    John Snyder "Dukes Of Hazzard" had said in a vid that, The General Lee cars were fixed & repaired so much with paint & bondo that the body lines were almost gone on the cars. He had personally rebuilt more then 20 Generals. Great channel "CHEERS".

    • @southernoklahomamopars6726
      @southernoklahomamopars6726 3 роки тому

      They never “rebuilt” any of the cars. It was cheaper back then to just go and find another charger. I think what you mean was whenever they would take the chargers and do repair work/converting to make them look like a 69 charger.

  • @danmurphy9173

    This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this exciting content! I love it! Also, your kids are awesome, too! Also, KITT looks amazing - and it’s crazy how when you’re more than 5-10 feet away the imperfections seem to disappear (kind of like on the show) - lost in that wonderful sea of shiny paint blackness!

Do you plan on adding that after the suspension is restored, and obviously before you have it painted? Thank you. "One man can make a difference". Best regards, Ed

    • @pinball541
      @pinball541 3 роки тому +2

      Yes, after the suspension gets fixed on the semi they are going to build the fake sleeper. They have the plans on the sleeper from the Vista Group's records they own. The semi series is my favorite videos to date, even over the Trans Am cars.👍

    Look for a guy called Steering Wheel Bob, hes a national award winner with his resto work. Top notch! By the way did you guys buy the Knight Rider 2000 car from Video Bob? A pointer to remove the stinky smell is to wipe and clean everything with soap and water then dampen the area and sprinkle baking soda everywhere in the rig quite liberally. Wait a day for it to soak up all the nasty smell and dry out and then just vacuum it up!
