Of course I'd still have to have a gas powered one as well!.

Of course, goes without saying.

Jmead, How is all that weight in front of the front axle line going to affect the handling?

How heavy are those batteries?

There are 8 batteries up front, weighing 60lbs each, this is only 480 lbs. About the same as the engine they replace

I gotta hand it to ya kid, you're doing a great job. Two things:

1) You *gotta* bring this car up to a show in Syracuse or Rochester this summer. I have to see it in person :-)

2) What's your budget for this project and by what % do you think you'll exceed it? ;-)

WOW great progress James!

You know you could always use the loop of cable on the middle batteries in the passenger compartment (blog pic) as a cup holder.

Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Derek

Hehe, it is kind of asking for a cup. I wish I didn't have to make it so obtrusive, I will have to see about changing that in the next revision.

Better pic with more progress:
