The round wheel is present at most of the stunt scenes, for example Michael's test drive in Buy Out. You just can't do those movements of the car with the gullwing steering "wheel"...

That's not just a round steering wheel. Look at the dash. Stock.

The Second picture is a perfect example of the outer skin that was placed on the stunt cars.

Fuzzie, Actually its a fiberglass dash. Looking at the first picture you can barely make out some stock gauges.

Nice Screen Caps, Josch. :)

I'm pretty sure the stock Firebird dashboards don't have the ignitor sequence lights that rest on top of the voice modulator. It looks like there's a cover on top on the stock dash.

:shock: Look at the upper console its like hanging there. That looks a bit like a KITT dash I can't see the stock gauges fitting into it.

I thought that the area just to the left of the steering wheel on the first picture looked like stock gauges. But now looking at it again, I can see the evidence of the KITT dash, yet that stuff on the left looks like analog guages. But it is too blurry to tell, really. It could be just the lights on the dash.

At *first* glance it *looked* stock. I now can see the curved dash on the right of the steering wheel, where the montior(s) would go.

There is an empty fiberglass dash in the car. There is no electronics
or overlays in it so you can see through it into the stock cluster. They
just bolted a dash into it. Looked good from the front but obviously not
through the side. :?

in the pic with the view of the dash you can see the Power Min RPM Fuel On Ignitors bit is but your right you can see the stock gauges clearly.

In this ep, you can also see stunt handles on the outside of KITT. MK's stunt actor uses them to hold on to when 'Michael' does L&R skiing.

hehe...that's pretty good. I have noticed other things in some episodes too. When it is a stunt man and when it is David. Different things on the cars and what not. That's why I love to look at the shows over and over and over, I notice things I didn't see before...hehe. ;)
