-12, 12v lead acid batteries mounted and wired (six in engine bay, six in trunk):
-Home made 500 amp modified "Cougar" controller installed and programmed:

My to do list is; rewire headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. Replace the windshield, and add motor and controller instrumentation.
After that I'll register her and start driving to work

GREAT! I love it when a plan comes together. Everything is working like I planned.
The only thing I don't like right now is the sound of the transmission. That's the only sound there is, but since I don't have any of the interior back in, it's loud. Not terrible, but I don't like it.

I had a similar experience, I thought there was something wrong with my transmission because I'd never been able to hear it before I'm used to it now.
