ever since I was a little boy of 7-11 (the age I was when the show was on the air

). I always wanted this car:
I have had toys, model kits (no pun intended

) and other scale replicas of it. I have been researching companies that sell the parts to convert a 82-92 firebird or trans am t-top into KITT. But my replica will have more balls under the hood. I plan on swapping out the factory supplied 305 engine with a LS1 from a 97-04 vette or a 98-02 camaro/ trans am
