Has been a busy few days!

Has been a busy few days!

Mounted accelerator cable / pot.
Built the front side battery box seen here, in 16 gauge steel.
Mounted the Soliton Controller at a double angle facing sortof up and toward the front of the car. And finally hooked up the motor HV wires and one battery cable coming from the rear pack.

I'm not putting anything else of size in front of this stuff because I want air flow, so maybe just a tunnel system of some kind if I ever think of what, any ideas?

The battery box will have a deep lid.

sold the V8

The other day I managed to sell the V8 302 for $700.  Was cheap but I'm happy with that considering I really can't give the buyer any good info on how reliable the motor will be.

I have been working on the motor mounts and plate for my electric motor and it is installed into the car.  There is a gap there between the motor plate and the transmission bell housing, the gap is firm with some large bronze spacers, but really that is still a temporary solution (but strong enough that it could be permenent)

Regardless I will have to disassemble the setup to put in an aluminum flywheel or at least get the steel flywheel that is in there now balanced (Ford has a stock purposely imbalanced setup to compensate for internal motor imbalances)
