Hey Patrick, looking forward to seeing the You Tube videos. Gavin is definitely an inspiration to many including myself. I'm gonna keep checking back on this thread to see your progress!

Pat, you may want to give EV-America a call unless you're loyal to KTA.

It only took about an hour to put air bags (AirLift) in my Eagle Summit. I got them from JC Whitney. They're rated at 1000lbs. Not sure how they will ride yet, but I'll find out soon!

Hey Pat, I just ordered a 4'x8' sheet of the 1/16''. Do you know if it's paintable? Now that you mention the "milk jug" color I'm leaning towards a coat or two of paint.

I FINALLY have a working ammeter... had to go through four ammeters, three voltmeters and three isolated power supplies. Have NO IDEA what I was doing wrong before, but I just got the latest ammeter and isolated PS installed and took it for a spin... all seems to be working, so I am NOT going to touch anything!!

Under full throttle I pull between 200-300 amps.. moderate acceleration keeps me under 200amps and for the short spin I took, it looks like a constant 40mph on level ground is ~ 75 amps... Seems reasonable, yes?

Pat, I'm pegged out at 400 amps when accelerating. Then at 50 mph in 2nd gear I'm pullin around 175 amps. I'll double check this next time I go for a drive, but I'm pretty certain on this. Matter of fact, I think at 60 mph in 3rd gear I'm pullin around 300 amps. But our's goes from shunt to motor i believe.

Wow Pat, awesome! I'm only 2 hours north of you and word is just beginning to travel here. We will be attending a few car shows and sounds like we may have a spot at Cruise Auction in Auburn, IN. We have around 1200 miles and a new graphics wrap, which is wild. Things are looking good. Need to spread the word about this EV thing. Many people haven't a clue about EV's. If you wanna plug a Fort Wayne EVer I won't have a problem with it! Like I said 1200 miles without a hitch (that is, that wasn't our fault). We recently put over 40 miles on and only ran down to 118 volts. The Summit does 70 mph and seems to get better all the time. I need to get some recent pics!

Congrats man! Isn't it awesome how people react to your conversion? We are loving it! It's about time that people realize the potential of the EV though huh?

Hey Pat!!! Just to let you know you totally scooped us here in Fort Wayne! Saw you last night on Fort Wayne FOX news! We've been driving our EV since February here in FW with 1300 miles damn it! I don't think anyone even knows up here. LOL I saw your face on the news and immediately said 'thats Pat Roth from Indy!'. Oh well, ironicly, my dad was on WOWO radio with Pat White yesterday afternoon and had a 15 minute conversation on the air about our Eagle Summit. Maybe the word up here will be out soon!
