| Additional Features | power windows, power convertable top, (needs new pump) AC that actualy works. Futur plans are to add a go-cart clutch to the rear motor axle to drive the AC, Alternator and then add a 12V motor to kick in when I am off the throttle. Then when I start to drive that motor will turn off and the ADC motor will start. This way I have AC all the time and don't run down the main 12v system battery that will drive the 12v motor. | ||||||
| 09-28-08 It took Sat and Sunday to trim down my plate adaptor and to get it in the car but it's in. I will be working on the rest over the next two weeks. 09-13-08 Went to the Dallas EV club meeting and found that the 55 AH batteries might not be enought for the distance I am looking for. So I am looking to see if I have room for 10 more batteries so I can have two packs of 10. This should give me 110 AH. If I do this it will be in phase 2. Also working out the mounts for the AC and Alternator. 09-04-08 Got the batteries in and laying out the trunk for 6 of them. Looks like I will have lot's of room for the charger and my full size spare. 09-01-08 I made the Power plug that is accesable via ex-gas tank door. (now called the AC Door) I also made the throttle mount and just have to find a place to put it. I will be ordering my Adaptor plate Tues. and should have it back with in two weeks. My batteries will be in tomorrow and I can start to arrange them for the best possible fit. 08-15-2008 Just ordered my Motor, charger and other small items and will have the controller with in the next three weeks. 08-02-08 Just got the engine out, boy 104 heat, glad that's done. I will be cleaning all that greas and grim out over the next few weeks and getting some mock ups to figure out were it all will go. I just picked this up last week. I removed the gas tank and part of the exhaust and some of the engine parts so far. | |||||||
