Other Notes: Car is in the process of being restored. The steering has been fixed. The brakes have been rebuilt. The vehicle is primered and ready for adding EV components. The final painting will happen once most of the EV work is done. The motor has been installed, although the motor mount design will likely change. The battery racks are the next hurdle to tackle. Once the batteries are installed the rest of the wiring should go in quickly. The throttle pot is also on our short list of things to do. I hope to have the car driving under it's own power in November and road legal in December.
