Four Year Anniversary

This anniversary feels a little bitter-sweet. It is always exciting to celebrate another year gone by for the Project, but this time I feel like "Man, has it really been four years?"

Setbacks just happen with any project, I know that, but I think I let the painting fiasco affect me more than it should. I lost motivation as a result. I distracted myself by getting caught up in other things and just did not put a priority on KITT. I tried several times to reestablish the pace Sara and I had at the start of the Project, but so far it just hasn't been the same.

Right now I am all fired up about starting on the wiring, and with the added "kick in the butt" this anniversary delivers I have something to announce:

I am back in the game! :D

We got KITT's 1983 Pontiac Trans Am body four years ago today. Here is what he looked like on January 14, 2012...

Here is what he looked like three years ago on January 14, 2013...


Here is what he looked like two years ago on January 14, 2014...

and here is what he looks like today, January 14, 2016.


Aside from marking four years for Project: K.I.T.T., today holds another special significance for me. 18 years ago today I met my soul mate. She didn't know then that I had a crazy dream of taking her everywhere in KITT someday, but I can tell you this - the Project would have never gotten this far without her. I love you Sara!
