Building my K.I.T.T.

During the shooting for "Cup of Joe" in February in Berlin, an umbrella landed on the hood of K.I.T.T. during a shooting break because of strong wind. The result were 3 deep scratches in the front nose and the hood of the car, which were unfortunately so deep that the front and hood had to be completely repainted.

I had the complete car repainted 18 years ago. And even though it still looked great at first glance, a lot of rust had formed in the meantime, making a repaint necessary.

I sent K.I.T.T. to the paint shop for a partial repaint. The first step was to remove the rear side deflectors, the taillights and the rear bumper and roughly sand down the rusty areas.

K.I.T.T. has changed the hall. In the meantime, the rusty areas have been completely exposed and the rust almost completely removed.
