I like hot dogs.. Finally about ready to paint my battery/contactor box rack. Can you guess which hole I missed on. Commentary on my booger welds not required. ;)

Brackets that ride over the frame rails using the motor mount location to carry the battery box. Not elegant but I’m still a welding rookie. Shop is my local Makerspace. It’s always empty at night.

Just like when I am tasked with figuring out dinner and I order out, my response is always, "I made it happen".

Motor controller, front battery box, contactor box and fabbed carrier for all as part of the electric conversion. They will sit on the frame rails just above the motor.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Been sidetracked by summer. Below are a few pictures of progress. For those of you worried, I have created additional bracing from the bell housing to the chassis to manage the rotational torque. First a dry fit of the rear battery box bracket. I will be...

I might swing by when I get done with this conversion project. I'll have a few parts I can donate as an entry fee. Always good to head back to my old stomping grounds.

Same concerns. I had some discussions with a few folks who assured me it’s all good, but as soon as I have powered, I plan to go through some basic tests with the wheels chocked and the e brake on to see if I get any movement. One thing I don’t knows is how much I should torque the band closed...
