...me to come back and post more poop.
No, but Kitt's just about done and is now a perfect exterior replica.
I've been holding off posting pics until I got the front scanner working. It's just not Kitt without that scanner! Those strange long overlays just below the hoodline are smoked plexiglass, so they only look black until the turn signal lights up and shines through. Next, to finish the artificial intelligence and deck out the interior, too!
In other news, I've closed down my doors to the public as far as TV repair and am working with my father as a jeweler. I'm really liking the work. I apprenticed with my dad years ago as a teenager and learned the basics but it really wasn't what I wanted to do at the time so I wasn't very serious about it. Now that I've gotten a little reckless youthful independence out of my blood I'm a little more serious about things, and continuing the family trade is becoming a strong appeal. My dad's store is practically right across the street from Nevada Beach on Lake Tahoe and we get some very interesting high-end clientele in... very much a mixture of tourists and established residents.
I love the look on someone's face when they pick up their jewelry... often times that which came in bent, broken or damaged which we go through, fix, and actually recondition- buff out the gold or silver. It makes a grateful customer. Light years away from the business of TV repair where the TV is not only a complicated device, but cheaply made and quite often after which mere pennies are thrown in an attempt to fix it.
Having a good time all around.
