For many months, we here at KITT STILL ROCKS have been working to re-create one of the most iconic props from the series. Even though it was seen only once in the series (OK, well technically twice, if you count a background scene in “Voo Doo Knight”), it was one of the coolest pieces and something that the fans have been wanting for literally decades! That’s right! We are talking about the Emergency Schematic Blueprint, or ESB, from the season two premiere “Goliath.”
In “Goliath,” Michael pulls the ESB out from under the dashboard of a very severely damaged KITT. Hoping to use the ESB to repair KITT enough to escape out of the desert, Michael uses the schematics inside to “jerry-rig” a ramjet. As a viewer, we only get to see a bit of the ESB – the cover, the first cover sheets of the inside and a few other pages as Michael turns through it.
We did our best to re-create the visible pages in the ESB as faithfully as possible. As Michael leafs through the book, we see pages in green, orange, blue and white, and so our ESB has those same colors. It is details like this that we hope you will fully appreciate it once you have it in your hand!
The cover is faithful to the original, with the design silk screened on the front. One detail that people often miss is the text along the bottom saying “Knight Industries Two Thousand.” We bet you didn’t see that on the show!
