Not a KITT fan but like seeing this kind of stuff or anything you record. I enjoy watching every single video you upload. You’re super fucking cool Bob
Bob said “This is my car and I’m going to keep it.” Do we take a shot after that? 😅 Anyway, great work as always. Even the Knight Rider Historians would go on for hours about trying to match screen accurate.
Hey Bob. Loyal subscriber here (Ray Sheffield). I believe you can run a smaller diameter vac hose inside the lower portion of the trans tunnel console and utalize the small vent covers and turn them to point upwards and you'll get air flow up towards your face.
Man Bob it’s so wonderful that you are such a Virgo Perfectionist regarding your build. The air conditioning vents are something that are mandatory that other builders should have done before. But it’s great to see you incorporate that in your builds. Are the noses the right length too? Lots were made that are too long. It’s a pity that you don’t want to do A-TEAM-VANS anymore. I personally love the Red and Black also:) ❤🖤❤🖤❤
I loved Knight Rider. When you watch Knight Rider Historians channel, even their screen used original KITT isn’t perfect. They are doing great with their screen used Knight Rider semi as well. Bob it’s your car, do what you think works. Most people don’t really care. They just love to see these cars.
At 30:45 in use that Gap as your vent! Get some black slats and it will be angled right at your body vertically. You can even slice off a quarter inch of the television bracket and it'll be a larger vent in a large V shape. I bet that would be cool. 80s caddilacs had vertical ones similar to that (much larger of course.)
Wow, Video Bob, I have 10½ years on you. You have many years left in you. I feel like I have myself. This was a tedious video for you. Keep them coming.
Looks authentic to me especially when done. One thing nobody can take from Bob is his knowledge of building movie reproductions cars. I’ve always thought they looked on point to the real ones
Love the video. Love that somebody finally says it about screen accuracy Thanks for sharing the video, and wish you well Can’t wait to see it when it’s done Cheers Bob from Australia 👍👍
Bob i hardly ever comment on videos but I just have to say I loved this one. I loved it because you show us who you are and how you think so naturally. I also have to say Bob that I really like you man. I know we will never meet but I just know that I could easily be friends with you. You are just a great person, both intelligent and so funny. All power to your elbow!
Utilise the gap to vent the air through and find some sort of trim/vent piece to make it look factory. WRT the panels, IMO the lines should be vertical with the world.
I’m the same type of person as you - a nit picking pain in the ass Virgo that insists on perfection, so I agree with you :) This was a great episode Bob because it was a personal stream of consciousnesses, like we were in the same room and your honesty comes through 👍
The only fake thing about the show is that K.I.T.T couldnt really talk. It's amazing that people came up with a way to make him respond to each owner of the cars they build. I think my fav dash has to be season two. Just love it grew up with the show in the 80s always watched it!
Hey Bob, just to give you some accuracy I on a 1992 Pontiac Firebird formula black with T tops and it does come with a 5.7 L from the factory. It’s a very rare option. It has a factory L 98 in it.
my .02? Put a mesh grille between the tv's and the gauges, and run the A/C there. As a 3rd Gen Firebird Aficionado (my 1st car was a black/black 83 trans Am T-Top, my current car is a 1990 Formula 350 T-Top), I could could tell you tons of things about them, and the fact that you could get a 350 T-Top from the factory in 1987, 1989 and 1990 (But only with an automatic). In 91-92 you could only get a T-Top 350 (Automatic) Formula, but they had the Trans Am/GTA lace wheels in black instead of the factory Formula wheels when optioned as such to conform to some CAFE requirement. The 87+ dash wiring harnesses are all equipped with the plugs for the different available options, even if they did not come with them. Looking at that car in what I could see in your video, one of those plugs would have been for the Rear Defroster. GM discontinued the rear wiper option after 86.
All these Kitt dashboard videos are getting me excited for my build. I've still waiting on a set I ordered from Jupiter Electronics in Jan 2022, so hopefully they get done soon!
Hey Bob this was very interesting, you are achieving excellence here.Getting air conditioning is a no question must have especially in Vegas, I always wondered why Michael Schfee didn't have any climate control vents in the dash.The design of that dash from the vendor in Mexico was a much needed move in the right direction. I 'm happy to be a fan of Knight Rider and the other series/movies and am also a fan of your work related to them. It's a shame that prices are out of control and Uncle Tony on utg pointed out that even basic commodities like engine oil atf,some simple replacement parts are suddenly triple or more.The early third gen Trans Am especially the parts that were more unique to the 1982 models were already artificially heightened by what some have called the "Knight Rider tax",and the artificial raised price will only increase. As a fellow Bob also born in September ( 2) but a bit older (will be 61!)I wish you a quite long and healthy life,and am looking forward to see your progress on your personal Kitt and your other projects!
I really don't care about screen accuracy I just thought the car and semi truck where cool as a kid it was good show I like the tech and image using the tech we have in cars now days put in tesla tech with 2019 vette engine in a Kitt build thank you Bob for sharing never knew how much work goes into Kitt dash build.
Bob couldnt you extend the wiring between the front chaser sound controller (the 1 that resets when turned off) and unused buttons on the KITT dash for easier access, also the bit near the monitor, could you make up a small AC vent with a grill that looks similar to the rest of the dash
Can you make that panel slide back and forth? When Kit is displayed, you can close it, and when driving, you can have it open. It may help to get it evened up also.
How are the electronics made for kitt to actually match the speed of the car, the rpms, the odometer, the electricity etc. Id love to know when i build my kitt in the future
They make small cob led panels that are flat and the whole surface is essentially just one led. No bright spots, just a panel of light. You could easily find some for placement behind the mode display and they are dirt cheap. I have a pair of 6" long ones in the top of the back window of my car right at the edge of the headliner in my car to light up the back seats when the down light came on because there was no dome light, just a couple map lights on the rear video mirror. They are bright
You're the best love what you do I love everything about you you say the truth keep up the good work when I hit the lotto I'm going to pay you a million to build my Kitt car😊❤
Bob get another round vent like you already have thats aimable then cut a hole to the right of the monitor so it can blow on you. Just take that middle duct and cut it back and add flex tube to get the air over to that new vent
At 13:14 mark....how do you connect the console part to center console? L brackets? I plan on buying one from knightriderworld, just didn't know how it will stay on without tipping over as I drive. Also I have a B&M ratchet shifter, think the t handle would slide by the console? Thanks for any help.
Love your VOX area, as far as the way your Air, Oil, P1 etc. I absolutely hate when they are put in separate and you can see the line breaks. And yes you have to get those overlays straight. Also last thing, Dude you have to put the pods in!💪🏼🙌🏼. In my 20's, I did a 1/2 and a 3/4 season. Sold them both! I love seeing that people are still doing it though! Thats a nice looking dash though. Keep on doing your thing man. 💪🏼💯🙌🏼
Hey my sweetheart Bob 🤩🤩OMG‼️I have watched the video 2 times and I can’t see where it was crooked‼️OMG‼️You are an ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONIST 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can you build me one of those new Lexus trucks”The Lexus TX”🤣🤣🤣I refuse to buy one that is made in Jacksonville FL‼️‼️YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST😇😇😇😇😇
Bob why not pull those panels and place them both on a backer plate of black. Maybe split them into 4 pieces and screw them in. Also cut off some of the lefthand side so you do not loose buttons behind the monitor.
I am not expert, but in my trans am I installed the scanner control where the radio was and my main screen is my radio, I have a 4 th season dash but I guess you could use a small touch screen radio. I really enjoy your watching your kitt replica videos.
I’ve thought of wanting to build one and always want to make the various buttons and switches actually do the basic operations that they block or cover, I’d also use modern touch screens and reverse cameras hooked up to them with a couple of those throw back video game models installed to play (of course only in park)
Yeah, I'm not so sure its a flaw in the dash design for the pieces to sit "crooked" , but square elements sitting in a round dash. You gotta give and take with certain things, in my opinion. It won't make or break the car, I bet if you look at the 4k bluray episodes, you'll see how they set them up.
Hope you can get your dash sorted,I too am a huge Knight Rider fan from the UK.Loved your video of the Knight 4000.Wrhat happened to it?Also,will you be taking your KITT car to car shows once he is finished.?
I think the modern way, and I know it's retro and kinda to the show I get that, but I think all that stuff could be done with LCD panels and a screen layout designed to look like all of that, and maybe make it look cooler, more modernish without going overboard. The inlays I had for awhile were separate pieces like the show.
So, will you add a camera in the roof console? (to record the drive and thus help with police & insurance???) What about the back-mirror, will one fit or not? Could be a place to hide a couple of camera's with which Kitt could see the folks sitting in his seat (even if they are fake). As for the displays, any backwards or side looking camera's? Like looking around a corner that you as the drive have trouble seeing because you are sitting so far away from the stop line? Basically, some drivers, comfort display options, there. There is also the music/radio selection options as well. Say, any Tesla self drive system laying around? Because that I bet, would be the same itch you could have, with creating a Hurbie copy. Making them capable of driving on their own. Is the new (Kitt) nose lowering the cooling ability of the engine and if so, how would you increase it again? Water cooling pipes in the nose, for a heat transfer system? Or a modified bottom plate for the air-stream sticking to the ground effect, feeding a air-intake that ends up higher in terms of air exit point(s)? On the other hand, two coolers, one behind each lower nose lamp strips? Now with all the modern stuff, can the dashboard and roof console, their buttons, get actual functions? As for that A-team van, it would have to have a back mounted engine, to account for that episode where they mounted hidden guns in the place the engine is supposed to sit in. One that sits ---- and not I That way the gun locker could be mounted against it. My dad uses to have a van with a similar seating setup when I was young, great when there was a traffic jam, lots of room to play on, at te backseats & floor. So if somebody ever goes for one, add entertainment for the backseats.
Plastic texture wrapped aluminum in the actual prop. Check out Knight Rider Historians. you can see how what was in the actual prop survives heat, it doesn't. You do not want a real car to fall apart like happened with the actual parts that were on screen Bob MUST do better for it to survive Vegas even with the window tinting. 80% of the time KITT was doing stunts there weren't pods in the car being used because you do not want that distraction on 2 wheel driving ;p I look forward to you living to 100 Bob with other people helping you get things together for the love of the props.
@RobertMoseley Regarding those lines, leave it. I honestly think it looks great, speaking as an engineer starting in an analog world. I would see it time to time in precision measurement equipment used to calibrate other equipment and it always irked me. Then you learn it’s intentional to avoid “scope creep” based on the engineers view of a gauge. When you realize it’s crooked because it’s accounted for depending on the angle of a human head and eye; it stops being annoying. And to me, the fact it isn’t perfectly straight and they go away from each other, it looks well engineered. Consider the Taj Mahal. If the spires were perfectly straight, the Mosque would appear to be smaller… They are tilted outward, which provides an illusion that they are straight. Also to ensure they fall away from the mosque in the event of earthquake or failure.
I would add a filler piece, you have a space on the lower controls about 1.5” in between, that I find more distracting than that gap at the top, some black plastic would make it look great. Plus LEDS will be blasting you in the face! Lol
The key to getting the overlays straight and right is to make sure that A the upper and the lower contact line are flush to each other and that the angles to the adjecent overlay are identical top / bottom and absolutely opposite to each other. It takes a lot of time but it's worth the effort.
Definitely not boring! Could watch all day! Nothing more than reality than seeing a kitt car being built!!
Not a KITT fan but like seeing this kind of stuff or anything you record. I enjoy watching every single video you upload. You’re super fucking cool Bob
Always a fan of your work and builds. Positive attitude and inspiration. Thank you.
You are correct Bob ....I had an '87 GTA and that dash is definitely from a GTA. The original guy did a lot to convert the interior.
Pretty cool stuff Bob. I appreciate the work and craftmanship you put into your vehicles.
I would flip the dash upside down on the table, then align the lines in the gauges perpendicular with the table to get them straight.
Bob said “This is my car and I’m going to keep it.” Do we take a shot after that? 😅
Anyway, great work as always. Even the Knight Rider Historians would go on for hours about trying to match screen accurate.
Love Ms. Catherine Hickland.
White Bird must fly…
Ricardo made my dash too, his work is great!
Hey Bob. Loyal subscriber here (Ray Sheffield). I believe you can run a smaller diameter vac hose inside the lower portion of the trans tunnel console and utalize the small vent covers and turn them to point upwards and you'll get air flow up towards your face.

It’s a pity that you don’t want to do A-TEAM-VANS anymore. I personally love the Red and Black also:) ❤🖤❤🖤❤
If i had the money i would not want KITT, i want KARR
If you want karr, then you’re a villain
I loved Knight Rider. When you watch Knight Rider Historians channel, even their screen used original KITT isn’t perfect. They are doing great with their screen used Knight Rider semi as well.

I bet that would be cool. 80s caddilacs had vertical ones similar to that (much larger of course.)
Good thought. These custom dashes should have a functional AC.
Cant wait to see it Im actually building the 1:8th scale of KITT and it has light bleed with dash trying to figure out to fix
Wow, Video Bob, I have 10½ years on you. You have many years left in you. I feel like I have myself. This was a tedious video for you. Keep them coming.
Love these videos. I'm researching correcting a lot of the terrible electrical work done inside my '83 KITT and your videos are invaluable.
Looks authentic to me especially when done. One thing nobody can take from Bob is his knowledge of building movie reproductions cars. I’ve always thought they looked on point to the real ones
Bob, this video is really good. So much fun watching you making stuff work out, not enough hours in the day to make dreams come true.
Love the video. Love that somebody finally says it about screen accuracy
Thanks for sharing the video, and wish you well
Can’t wait to see it when it’s done
Cheers Bob from Australia
👍👍

Always enjoy the vids and your unique take on things and life in general. Keep up the good work!
If I would buy a kitt it would be from you…really good work
I’m the same type of person as you - a nit picking pain in the ass Virgo that insists on perfection, so I agree with you :) This was a great episode Bob because it was a personal stream of consciousnesses, like we were in the same room and your honesty comes through 👍
My mirror switch is in the door right next to the door lock switches.
The only fake thing about the show is that K.I.T.T couldnt really talk. It's amazing that people came up with a way to make him respond to each owner of the cars they build. I think my fav dash has to be season two. Just love it grew up with the show in the 80s always watched it!
Never change Bob 🤩
Those monitor frames are tricky to get lined up. I overlapped the metal inlays to account for the curve
I would keep the legends aligned vertically and do not worry about how the alignment is with the edges.
Hey Bob, just to give you some accuracy I on a 1992 Pontiac Firebird formula black with T tops and it does come with a 5.7 L from the factory. It’s a very rare option. It has a factory L 98 in it.
paint some additional white lines that make the lines gradually change directions
LOL use the gap beside the screen for the A/C air flow.
Always entertaining Bob! Thanks for the laughs
my .02? Put a mesh grille between the tv's and the gauges, and run the A/C there.
As a 3rd Gen Firebird Aficionado (my 1st car was a black/black 83 trans Am T-Top, my current car is a 1990 Formula 350 T-Top), I could could tell you tons of things about them, and the fact that you could get a 350 T-Top from the factory in 1987, 1989 and 1990 (But only with an automatic).

Love your video BOB very exciting ❤
Oxygen vent is a good place for the AC. Or, make the gap/filler your vent.
All these Kitt dashboard videos are getting me excited for my build. I've still waiting on a set I ordered from Jupiter Electronics in Jan 2022, so hopefully they get done soon!
Cool concept thank you for letting us know how much the knight rider car cost .So cool and informative.
Put your a/c vent in the center console facing you there appears to be plenty of room to put a narrow vent tube in there
It's a shame that you have to delete the stalks on the steering column. It really completes the look from the way it was on the show.
"That's just crooked Bro!" 🤣
That last iteration of the dash came out perfectly! Jayman...
Love your work and love your passion for building.
Keep building.
Looking forward to the finished KITT
Bob sounded like the comic book guy at one point from the Simpsons
Let's do this! Looking great!
A billionaire that's interested in justice , law and government, is a wonderful fiction.
Love what you do man having fun with your craft 🔥
Hey Bob this was very interesting, you are achieving excellence here.Getting air conditioning is a no question must have especially in Vegas, I always wondered why Michael Schfee didn't have any climate control vents in the dash.The design of that dash from the vendor in Mexico was a much needed move in the right direction.

the o2 vent is on the left side on top of the over head there 2 of them one for driver and pass it blow in your frace
I really don't care about screen accuracy I just thought the car and semi truck where cool as a kid it was good show I like the tech and image using the tech we have in cars now days put in tesla tech with 2019 vette engine in a Kitt build thank you Bob for sharing never knew how much work goes into Kitt dash build.
3D print a wedge for the corner.

Can you make that panel slide back and forth? When Kit is displayed, you can close it, and when driving, you can have it open. It may help to get it evened up also.
Can you put two of the round air vents in the dead space to the right of the "tv" screens?
How are the electronics made for kitt to actually match the speed of the car, the rpms, the odometer, the electricity etc. Id love to know when i build my kitt in the future

love your work no matter with it is, keep up the good work
I wonder if you can just sand blast some colored plexiglass to make a defused piece? Like making frosted glass?
At 13:14 mark....how do you connect the console part to center console? L brackets? I plan on buying one from knightriderworld, just didn't know how it will stay on without tipping over as I drive. Also I have a B&M ratchet shifter, think the t handle would slide by the console? Thanks for any help.
If I remember correctly, power mirrors were not an option till 85. And the harness in the middle had rear wiper and rear defrost then trunk.
Love your VOX area, as far as the way your Air, Oil, P1 etc. I absolutely hate when they are put in separate and you can see the line breaks. And yes you have to get those overlays straight. Also last thing, Dude you have to put the pods in!💪🏼🙌🏼. In my 20's, I did a 1/2 and a 3/4 season. Sold them both! I love seeing that people are still doing it though! Thats a nice looking dash though. Keep on doing your thing man. 💪🏼💯🙌🏼
Add the A/C vent to the right of the tv screens. The dash board curves towards you in that section.
Hey my sweetheart Bob 🤩🤩OMG‼️I have watched the video 2 times and I can’t see where it was crooked‼️OMG‼️You are an ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONIST 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can you build me one of those new Lexus trucks”The Lexus TX”🤣🤣🤣I refuse to buy one that is made in Jacksonville FL‼️‼️YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST😇😇😇😇😇
Bob why not pull those panels and place them both on a backer plate of black. Maybe split them into 4 pieces and screw them in. Also cut off some of the lefthand side so you do not loose buttons behind the monitor.
You had a lot of black and red in the TV Show Farscape, it was the colors of the peacekeepers (that's why my laptop is black and red !)
I am not expert, but in my trans am I installed the scanner control where the radio was and my main screen is my radio, I have a 4 th season dash but I guess you could use a small touch screen radio. I really enjoy your watching your kitt replica videos.
Go with the V gap and 3D print a part to fit in the gap perfectly!
Could you not make a small air vent ?
0:51 THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT! The car should have a functioning air conditioning system.
@videobob put the ac vent to the right of the double screens.
Videobob you've got a season 9 goatee with a season 2 haircut ..... Dammit man get it right 🤣🤣🤣
Put the stereo where the ashtray is and put an air outlet where the stereo is ?
How do I buy from the guy in Mexico that you got yours
Great Video! I've got my eye on a car, and I'm planning the budget. This will end-up being my Retirement "Hobby". Can't wait
I’ve thought of wanting to build one and always want to make the various buttons and switches actually do the basic operations that they block or cover, I’d also use modern touch screens and reverse cameras hooked up to them with a couple of those throw back video game models installed to play (of course only in park)
Use the gap you were talking about between the vid screens and the gauges
Yeah, I'm not so sure its a flaw in the dash design for the pieces to sit "crooked" , but square elements sitting in a round dash. You gotta give and take with certain things, in my opinion. It won't make or break the car, I bet if you look at the 4k bluray episodes, you'll see how they set them up.
ITS NOT BORING!! I'm currently build KARR
Hope you can get your dash sorted,I too am a huge Knight Rider fan from the UK.Loved your video of the Knight 4000.Wrhat happened to it?Also,will you be taking your KITT car to car shows once he is finished.?
How can I contact Ricardo in Mexico? I want a KARR custom dash for a '92 Firebird.
I think the modern way, and I know it's retro and kinda to the show I get that, but I think all that stuff could be done with LCD panels and a screen layout designed to look like all of that, and maybe make it look cooler, more modernish without going overboard.

So, will you add a camera in the roof console? (to record the drive and thus help with police & insurance???)
What about the back-mirror, will one fit or not? Could be a place to hide a couple of camera's with which Kitt could see the folks sitting in his seat (even if they are fake).
As for the displays, any backwards or side looking camera's? Like looking around a corner that you as the drive have trouble seeing because you are sitting so far away from the stop line?
Basically, some drivers, comfort display options, there.
There is also the music/radio selection options as well.
Say, any Tesla self drive system laying around?
Because that I bet, would be the same itch you could have, with creating a Hurbie copy.
Making them capable of driving on their own.
Is the new (Kitt) nose lowering the cooling ability of the engine and if so, how would you increase it again?
Water cooling pipes in the nose, for a heat transfer system?
Or a modified bottom plate for the air-stream sticking to the ground effect, feeding a air-intake that ends up higher in terms of air exit point(s)?
On the other hand, two coolers, one behind each lower nose lamp strips?
Now with all the modern stuff, can the dashboard and roof console, their buttons, get actual functions?
As for that A-team van, it would have to have a back mounted engine, to account for that episode where they mounted hidden guns in the place the engine is supposed to sit in.
One that sits ---- and not I
That way the gun locker could be mounted against it.
My dad uses to have a van with a similar seating setup when I was young, great when there was a traffic jam, lots of room to play on, at te backseats & floor.
So if somebody ever goes for one, add entertainment for the backseats.
Hi video Bob lots of work you put into them then
Level the rpm and other next to it. Great video. Keep it up
Plastic texture wrapped aluminum in the actual prop. Check out Knight Rider Historians. you can see how what was in the actual prop survives heat, it doesn't.

The couple from from Retro Recipes are also doing a KITT build if it makes sense to do a collab with them.
Iam surprised u don't make a kitt trailer out of ur gold trailer just a idea as u don't need anymore ideas lol
@RobertMoseley Regarding those lines, leave it. I honestly think it looks great, speaking as an engineer starting in an analog world.

Meh, I should’ve finished watching before commenting, lol! Ah well, I think you nailed it tho. Send it!
Video Bob use the gap for your air conditioning vent
How much for an 84 proton pack?
I would add a filler piece, you have a space on the lower controls about 1.5” in between, that I find more distracting than that gap at the top, some black plastic would make it look great. Plus LEDS will be blasting you in the face! Lol
Use gaffers tape😊
The key to getting the overlays straight and right is to make sure that A the upper and the lower contact line are flush to each other and that the angles to the adjecent overlay are identical top / bottom and absolutely opposite to each other. It takes a lot of time but it's worth the effort.
"That's totally not ssscccreen accurate, Bob." 😅
Use a plumb, and make the alignment vs the perpendicular to earth's horizon, not the dash, left or right side!
@24:59 I would hose that middle vent off to the passenger side and tee in onto that vent maximizing the air flow to the cabin.
or to drivers side.
