Disassembly...

A few week's back, I began disassembling the car, starting with the front stone deflectors:



Most people don't realize this, but the screen used K.I.T.T. cars DID NOT have these deflectors with the exception of ONE car...the original Pilot Presentation car...you know, the one with the odd front nose? This one:



...So I sold them on Ebay. More disassembly:






As you can see above, there's some minor surface rust - nothing major though! A quick sanding and priming of those spots and we're good to go.

And, finally, test fitting the front nose for the first time. I was even able to copy the infamous season 2/3 "droopy" turn signal indentations:







More to come soon!

Any idea what they did on the screen used cars to hang the air dam that normally attaches to the stone deflectors? Or did they just leave it off?

They actually left the air dam completely off of the screen used cars.
