   K.I.T.T / MT  (Knight Industries Two-Thousand / Monster Technology)

  This is my version of a monster truck that could have been made for the TV show, KNIGHT RIDER, based on the computerized Firebird who co-starred in the show.

  A copy of KITT's computers and technology has been transplanted into a monster truck for special missions in difficult terrain, where little else but a monster could tread.  KITT / MT uses the original's  low-visibility paint, forward sensor (animated), indistructable molecular-bonded armor, and Artifical Intelligence computer circuitry, enabling KITT / MT to think and drive for him/itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------
about the model:   
  I used a Chevy body from 4x4 EVOLUTION and modified it into a fiberglas monster truck body.
  The frame is a Patrick style space frame, with support structure added to the bed area.
  The tires, wheels and axles were made custom for this vehicle.
  The cab is fully enclosed for lower vertix-count (toxic chemical and bulletproof, of course!).
    

===============================

-The story behind KNIGHT RIDER and the original KITT, for those unfamilar with it:

   A cop named Michael Long was shot in the face by criminals he was investigating, and presumed dead.  A man named Wilton Knight, who worked for the Knight Foundation for Law and Government (F.L.A.G), found him and rescued him.  He was revived in the F.L.A.G. medical center, and was given a new face and identity. 

   Michael Long was pronounced dead, .........he is now known as Michael Knight, the KNIGHT RIDER.   He now works at F.L.A.G. and has a new car.  A car unlike any other...
         
                  The Knight Industry Two Thousand (K.I.T.T.).  
               The fastest, safest, and strongest car in the world.

  The Foundation's most important asset in achieving its goals of fighting crime and protecting the innocent, KITT possesses advanced artificial intelligence capable of accepting voice commands, as well as interacting with its operator and making decisions on its own. In fact, KITT's artificial intelligence is so advanced, that it has formed a kind of personality. This human characteristic has enabled KITT to gradually form a unique bond and partnership with Michael and the rest of the FLAG crew. Although his purpose is to fight criminals, KITT by nature is benevolent and compassionate. KITT is programmed in such a way that his top priority is to protect human life, and thus he does not utilize lethal force.
