Since today was the warmest day in quite a while, Sara and I checked out the extent of the overspraying damage.
Project: K.I.T.T. is the restoration and conversion of a 1983 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am into Knight Rider's KITT, and the restoration of a 1987 Pontiac Fiero into a daily driven tribute to KARR.

OMG, WTF!
Just as I finished the door hinge bolts and was putting stuff away I noticed what I thought was a paint run on the driver's side rocker panel.
Getting Started Again Working On KITT
Today after work I was determined to get back to KITT. The next thing I want to do is get the doors, fenders, and hood back on the car. With those back on the car it will allow us to clean up and reorganize the garage. Frankly it has been a pain trying to work around these parts. We also have an indoor storage now, so we are going to move some of the parts from the garage into that. We love organizing, if you have not figured it out by now. ;)
I started by cleaning up the hinge bolts for the doors. They needed to be wire brushed to remove some mild surface rust. You can see that I left all of the door hinge bolts turned into their respective spots (I had already removed one before taking this picture).

KITT Is Back From The Body Shop!
This evening Troy and I went out to Mario's shop to trailer KITT home. I have been attempting to do this since the week before Christmas, but both Sara and I got really sick and the weather got really, really cold. Monday it was -27 degrees with the wind chill making it -52 degrees, just for example.
Troy picked me up about 5:45PM.

Getting Anxious
I am anxious to get back to work on KITT! He has been waiting at the body shop for me to pick him up and trailer him home. It has been so dang cold and snowy here lately that I have not been able to. Soon though...
