 2 TV Dash by ADiAT

When I upgraded to the full KITT dash, I decided to use the 1st/2nd season, two TV style.  I always likes the look of the LEDs in that style dash and wanted the versatility of the two screens.  I decided to get my dash from Don Colie of Advanced Designs in Automotive Technology.  In July of 2003, I took a trip down to Virginia and installed the dash with Don.  I was very happy with the dash and it was great to finally sit behind it.

This dash held up well over the course of 5 years and I gave it a lot of use at shows and cruises.  View the photo gallery below for more pics.

Don eventually updated his electronics and dash package to make it even better.  In November 2008 I traded out the old dash and upgraded to the new equipment.  See the Dash Update 2008 page for more info.
